Iron sulfate solution typically appears pale green or pale blue in color.
When copper sulphate reacts with iron, the solution turns blue due to the formation of copper ions in the solution. This is because copper is displaced from the copper sulfate and iron sulfate is formed, leading to the blue color of the solution.
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.
Iron(II) sulfate typically appears as a pale green or light green solution when mixed with water.
Silver sulfate solution typically appears colorless.
When iron is placed in copper sulfate solution, a chemical reaction occurs where the iron displaces the copper in the solution, forming iron sulfate and copper metal. This is known as a displacement reaction.

The color change occurs because the iron filings react with copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate and copper. This reaction results in a displacement reaction, where the iron displaces the copper in the compound. This changes the chemical composition of the solution, resulting in a light green color.
Iron III sulfate solution is typically pale yellow in color.
When iron is added to magnesium sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where the iron displaces magnesium from the sulfate compound. This results in the formation of iron sulfate and magnesium metal as products. The iron sulfate dissociates into iron ions and sulfate ions in solution.
The iron is a more active metal than copper, so the iron atoms in the nail replace the copper atoms in the copper sulphate solution, so it becomes iron sulfate. The copper atoms will start to build on the iron nail, as well.
When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulfate solution, a single displacement reaction occurs. The iron will displace the copper in the solution, forming iron sulfate and depositing copper on the nail, causing it to turn a brownish color due to the presence of copper.
Iron sulfate can be prepared by dissolving iron oxide or iron metal in sulfuric acid. The reaction produces iron sulfate and water. The solution can then be evaporated to obtain solid iron sulfate.
After keeping iron nails in a copper sulfate solution for about half an hour, you will observe that the color of the iron nails changes to a reddish-brown due to the deposition of copper on the surface of the nails. The blue color of the copper sulfate solution will fade as copper is transferred from the solution to the nails.
