Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail dipped in it?

∙ 11y ago
When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution forming iron sulphate, which is green in colour.
Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.

∙ 11y agoThe colour of Copper Sulphate changes when An iron nail is dipped in it because the Iron in the nail replaces the Copper in the Copper Sulphate because it is more reactive than copper. The reaction that takes place is CuSO4 + Fe -> FeSO4 + Cu.

∙ 11y agoThe iron nails will have a reddish-brown coating or deposit which is actually copper.
It happens because Iron is more reactive than copper and so it DISPLACES copper from copper sulfate solution thus resulting in the deposition of copper on the iron nails.

What is The name of the copper sulphate after being heated?
Copper Sulphate usually is found in a hydrated form (i.e., water molecules are incorporated into the crystals.) Pure copper sulphate is a pale, greenish gray color. The familiar blue color only occurs in hydrates of copper sulphate (i.e., in crystals that incorporate H20 molecules). Heating the blue crystals can drive off the water. It's still called copper sulphate after you do that. For substances like copper sulphate that naturally attract water, the adjective, anhydrous often is used to describe the pure (water free) state. If you heat copper sulphate to a temperature of 650C, it will decompose into something else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sulphate
Why does the color with sulphate change?
This is because sulphate is a thing that just dissolve in the water and changes the colour.
What change will happen when copper sulphate is heated?
It turns into blueish clear crystals but only if u don't have a lid on it when it is heated!add. as it is heated, the water of crystallization will be driven off, and soon you'll have a greenish powder.
What color is copper sulphate solution and water mixture?
Copper sulphate's colour is blue.
What is the color of salt copper II sulfate?
Copper (II) sulphate is a salt that is blue.
Can iron be in a copper color?
not pure iron... But you can provide a covering over iron to make it look like copper by just dipping it into copper sulphate solution .. Because Iron is more reactive than Copper ... it will displace it in the solution .. the color of solution will change so as the color of iron!
What color is sulphate when dissolved in water?
Sulfate/Sulphate dissolved in water is blue in color. That's COPPER sulphate; there are many other sulphates which have many different colours, or are colourless.

What would happen if you put iron into a blue copper sulphate solution?
There would be copper deposited in the piece of iron and the solution would show a color change from pale blue to pale green.
What salt gives flames green color?
There are two products that will give flame a green color. Boric acid and copper sulfate. Copper sulfate is the salt, however.
