Question

a solution of cuso4 was kept in an iron pot after a few days no of holes were there in it why??

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

$\blacksquare$ Copper sulphate (CuSO₄) solution kept in Iron (Fe) pot produces holes after a few days

$\blacksquare$ These holes are produced due to the reaction between the copper sulphate solution and iron pot

$\blacksquare$ The reaction that is happening is a displacement reaction

$\boxed{Fe + CuSO_4 \rightarrow FeSO_4 + Cu }$

$\blacksquare$ In the given reaction, the iron from the pot displaces copper from its salt solution that is, from CuSO₄ solution
