here it is...!!

____________________________________________

Iron is more reactive than copper. So, when the solution of CuSO4(aq) is kept in an iron pot, iron gets dissolved. This causes holes in the iron pot.

Reaction :

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) ----------) FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

In the above reaction copper metal is precipitated.
