Question
What happens when an iron nail is placed in copper sulphate solution? Write word equation of the reaction involved.
✓
Answer
If we put Iron nail into copper sulphate solution, the iron nail will displace copper from copper sulphate solution. The following changes will be observed:
The chemical reaction is given below: Fe (Iron) $+ CuSO _4$ (Copper Sulphate) $\rightarrow FeSO _4$ (Iron Sulphate) + Cu (Copper)
- The colour of copper sulphate changes from blue to green after putting iron nails in it.
- Reddish brown colour is deposited on the iron nails. This reddish brown colour is of copper.
The chemical reaction is given below: Fe (Iron) $+ CuSO _4$ (Copper Sulphate) $\rightarrow FeSO _4$ (Iron Sulphate) + Cu (Copper)
