An iron nail is placed into some blue copper sulphate solution. A reaction takes place between the iron and the copper sulphate.?

Iron is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series. Hence metallic iron will displace copper cations from the solution. The solution will change colour from blue to brown. Metallic copper may be seen forming/observed on the sides of the reaction vessel/test tude.
