Question

Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s)
Explain any one change that you would observe during this reaction​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the reaction, an Fe atom donates two electrons to a Cu2+ ion, so Fe is an electron donor

and Cu2+ is an electron acceptor. The loss of two electrons increases the oxidation state

of Fe from 0 to +2, and the gain of two electrons by Cu2+ reduces its oxidation state from

+2 to 0. The loss and gain of electrons are such important processes as are the substances

involved in the electron transfer .
