Question

Good Morning!

Help me plzzz

.A solution of copper sulphate was
stored in an iron container. After a few days, some holes were seen in the iron container. Explain this Observation ​

Answer 1

Hello dear!❤️

Iron lies above in the activity series which means iron is more reactive than copper.Hence copper is displaced by iron from copper sulphate solution due to the reaction if iron,it gets dissolved in copper sulphate solution,creating holes in the container.

Fe + CuSo4 = FeSo4 + Cu

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Iron is more reactive than copper and so placed above copper in the reactivity series. Hence, when a solution of copper sulphate is placed in an iron pot, the iron metal from the pot will displace copper metal from CuSO4 solution, thereby forming ferrous sulphate and copper metal.

The blue colour of copper metal will slowly fade away and copper metal will also be deposited.

Following is the chemical equation for the reaction :

Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu

Hence, holes will be developed in iron pot due to displacement reaction taking place between iron metal and CuSO4 solution.
