Question

What happens when iron nails are pouring in aqueous copper sulphate solution?​

Answer 1

(a) Chemical reaction of iron nail with copper sulphate solution in water. Iron displaces copper ions from an aqueous solution of copper sulphate. ... 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fe(s)+CuSO4⟶Cu(s)+FeSO4

When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution, a brown coating of copper is formed on the surface of iron and the colour of copper sulphate solution changes from blue to light green. This reaction shows that iron is more reactive than copper as it displaces copper from its solution and iron passes into solution as Fe2+ ions and ferrous sulphate solution is formed.
