Question

The reaction takes place because ... *
iron is less reactive than copper
iron is more reactive than copper
iron does not react with copper
all of the above.

Answer 1

iron is more reactive than copper is the correct answer

Copper does not have a higher reactivity than iron. Since copper is less reactive than iron, it does not displace iron from its solution.

Iron displaces copper ions from an aqueous solution of copper sulphate. It is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal. ... 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).
