One common method for sacrificial protection of iron nails is to attach a more reactive metal, such as zinc or magnesium, to the iron nail. The more reactive metal will corrode in place of the iron nail, effectively protecting it. This process is known as galvanic protection or sacrificial anode protection.
When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs. The more reactive iron displaces the less reactive copper from the copper sulfate solution. This results in the iron nail becoming coated with copper, as copper metal is deposited onto the surface of the iron nail. Over time, the iron nail will appear to turn a copper color due to this deposition of copper onto its surface.
An iron nail is reactive with oxygen and water when forming rust. This reaction occurs when iron is exposed to moisture and oxygen in the air, leading to the formation of iron oxide, which we commonly know as rust.
A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound. In this case, iron is more reactive than copper and displaces it in the copper-sulphate solution to form iron sulphate and copper metal.
It is an electrochemical reaction. Iron is more reactive than copper, meaning it is more easily loses electrons to form a compound. So the copper essentially "steals" electrons from the iron. Forming copper metal and iron sulfate.
When an iron nail is added to zinc sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs where iron displaces zinc from the solution. This results in the formation of iron sulfate solution and zinc metal deposited on the iron nail. The reaction can be represented as: Fe(s) + ZnSO4(aq) -> FeSO4(aq) + Zn(s).
Iron is a compound iron nail is a iron ore which means that the iron nail is a mixture of metals such as copper and zinc added to make the nail stronger.

When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs. Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper in the solution and forms iron sulfate. This reaction causes the color change from blue (copper sulfate) to green (iron sulfate) as the copper ions are replaced by iron ions in the solution.
the solution turns green and the nails develop a brown deposit which is copper. the iron displaces the copper in the copper sulphate solution. This is because iron is more reactive than copper.
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
