Explanation:
blue solution is copper sulphate which has water of crystallization
formula is. CuSO4. 5 H20
iron is more reactive then copper
hence it displaces copper from copper sulphate solution and forms iron sulphate
formula is. Feso4 which is pale green in colour
it is a displacement reaction
Fe + CuSO4 ------> FeSO4 + Cu

The given blue-colored solution is that of hydrated copper sulphate.
- The solution of CuSO₄.5H₂O is blue in color.
- So, the solution contained in the beaker is that of copper sulphate.
Change in color of the solution occurs due to the following:-
- Iron, being more reactive than copper, will displace it.
- Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
- The copper sulphate so formed gives greenish color.
- Hence, it is an example of a displacement reaction.
