Question

An iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution . (i) What two observations would you make after sometime? (ii) Write the chemical equation for the above reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution, a brown coating of copper is formed in the surface of iron and the colour of copper sulphate solution changes from blue to pale green. The reaction shows that iron is more reactive than copper because it displaces copper from the copper sulphate solution.
