Why does iron filings in copper sulphate solution become colourless from green after sometime?
Copper sulfate solution starts of a blue colour. When Iron metal is added to the solution a REDOX reaction begins in which the copper is reduced (gains electrons) to become copper metal and the iron is oxidised (loses electrons) to become iron ions. When the iron ions go into solution, it will change to a green colour which is the colour of iron (II) sulfate. As a general principle, a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from solution by the process described above.
What is the reaction when iron sulfate is poured into water?
Iron sulfate dissolves in water to make an aqueous solution of iron sulfate.
What happens if iron sulfate was mixed with water?
A water solution of iron sulfate is obtained.
What will happen if you put an iron nail in a copper sulfate solution?
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
Why does copper solution stick to iron nails?
Iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper precipitates out of the solution by sticking to the iron. For example, if you have a test tube with a solution of copper (II) sulfate and put an iron nail into it, the iron will react with the solution to form iron (II) sulfate and the copper will come out of the solution and stick to the iron.
Why colour of copper sulphate solution changes to light green when iron filings are added?
When an iron nail is dipped in the copper sulfate solution then iron displaces copper from the copper sulfate because iron is more reactive than copper.

What is the physical solution of iron ii sulfate?
This is a homogeneous solution.
The blue colour of the solution fades during the electrolysis of copper sulfate. Explain why.?
Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it? 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.
Which colour of copper sulphate solution change when iron dipped in it?
It may seem like the iron rusts, but it doesn't. The chemical formula for copper sulfate is CuSO4, or, 1 copper atom, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms to each molecule. When the iron is placed in the solution of copper sulfate, it replaces the copper in the solution, turning copper sulfate into iron sulfate (FeSO4) and pure copper collects on the iron. This can be proved by removing the copper and seeing that the iron has lost a lot of its mass, as in, it lost mass to the copper sulfate. The iron (steel wool) takes on a pinkish color which is metallic copper deposited when the solution forms iron sulfate.

What is the color of iron III sulfate solution?
Yellowish
When an iron nail is placed into a solution of copper sulfate what happens?
The iron which is a more electrochemically active metal gets plated with copper and iron sulfate is formed
What colour is ZnSO4 solution?
Zinc sulfate is colorless to white in appearance.
