Explanation:
In the electrical set up, the iron spoon is made cathode (-ve electrode) and a thin sheet of pure copper is made anode (+ve electrode). The electrolytic solution is an acidified solution of copper sulphate.
When electricity is passed through copper sulphate solution, the copper metal gets dissolved in the solution and gets electroplated on the iron spoon.

No you can’t, As per it is more reactive than Copper which could take place in displacement reaction due to a medium.
