Hey there!
When Copper sulphate and iron nail are put together then the reactions occurs is:
Fe(s) + CuSO₄ (aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu (s)
As we know the colour copper sulphate solution is blue in colour. When we put iron nail in it , copper forms brown coloured coating on iron nail. The solution's colour also changes to light green colour.
Hence, it is a displacement reaction as iron is more reactive than copper and copper is displaced to form ferrous sulphate solution.
