What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?

Answer 1

Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.

Answer 2

When copper sulfate is stored in an iron vessel, a chemical reaction occurs where the iron reacts with the copper sulfate solution to form iron sulfate and solid copper. This results in the iron vessel corroding and the copper sulfate solution losing its blue color as the copper is solidified. Overall, storing copper sulfate in an iron vessel can result in damage to the vessel and a change in the chemical composition of the solution.
