Question

Amrit was given a green coloured solution of iron sulphate in a beaker he added a few pieces of magnesium ribbon to it and observe the change . a.what is the change in colour of solution and why b. write the chemical equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

FeSO4+Mg---MgSO4+Fe

Answer 2

Explanation:

(a)

When the green coloured solution of iron sulphate in a beaker is reacted with few pieces of magnesium ribbon, then the ribbon gets darker and the solution turn to almost transparent. A displacement reaction takes place, because Magnesium being more reactive breaks the FeSO4 and displaces Iron which then forms a dark layer of magnesium sulphate.

(b)

The chemical reaction is

FeSO4 + Mg == MgSO4 + Fe
