Hii there!!
Here’s your answer——————————————————-
=> Iron is more reactive than Copper. So when an iron nail is dipped in a solution of blue coloured copper sulphate (CuSO4), then the solution gradually changes to pale green.
The reaction is stated below ——-
Fe + CuSO4 = FeSo4 + Cu
Glad to help ya
Hope it helps ya
Thank you :-))

HELLO DEAR
It happens so because iron is more reactive metal as compared to copper. We know about displacement reaction.. in this reaction a more reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal from its solution. And iron is more reactive. So it becomes iron sulphate solution and the colour is changed.
Word equation - CuSo4 + Fe = FeSo4 + Cu
