Question

State whether a displacement reaction will occur if copper sulphate and iron are mixed

Answer 1

Answer :-

Yes a displacement reaction will occur if copper sulphate and iron are mixed.

As per the reactivity series, we know that, iron is more reactive than copper, Iron will displace copper from it's solution and it will form Iron sulphate.

--------------------

Reaction :- Iron + Copper sulphate → Iron sulphate + Copper

--------------------

Chemical equation :- Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu
