Question

Explain why the reaction between iron and copper sulphate is an example of a dislacement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron displaces copper ions from an aqueous solution of copper sulphate.

It is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal.

Thus iron is more reactive than copper. In this reaction, metallic iron is converted into ferrous ion (Fe2+) and cupric ion (Cu2 +) is converted into metallic copper.
