Question

7. (a) Iron can react with copper sulphate solution to form iron sulphate and copper, but
copper cannot react with iron sulphate to form copper sulphate and iron. Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron metal is more reactive than copper. Therefore, it can displace copper from copper sulphate (CuSO4) solution. Cu is less reactive than iron, therefore, cannot replace iron from iron sulphate (FeSO4).
