Question

nature of iron nail ​

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. Iron is placed

above copper in the activity series. Elements placed above in this series are

more reactive than those placed below them. 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.

Fe (s) + Cu2 + (aq) → Fe2+ (aq) + Cu (s).
