Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it?
Fe (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ----→ FeSO4 (aq) + Cu(s)
Iron Copper Sulphate Ferrous Suplhate Copper
Displacement reaction occurs. As Iron is more reactive than copper, iron displace copper from copper sulphate and forms ferrous sulphate, which is light green colour compared to dark blue colour solution of copper sulphate.
Samples of four metals A, B, C and D were taken and added to the following solution one by one. The results obtained have been tabulated as follows.
Metal | Iron(II) sulphate | Cooper(II) sulphate | Zinc sulphate | Silver nitrate |
A | No reaction | Displacement | ||
B | Displacement | No reaction | Displacement | |
C | No reaction | No reaction | No reaction | No reaction |
