What happens if strip of zinc is dipped in solution of copper sulphate?

Zinc is higher than copper in the electrochemical series, so it will displace copper from it's solutions.
Zn + CuSO4 = ZnSO4 + Cu
Copper plates onto the zinc as a small amount of zinc sulphate is produced.

What happens when copper plate is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution?
There would be no reaction because copper is a less reactive metal than iron. Refer to the related link for an activity series of metals.
When zinc rod is dipped in a solution of aqu copper sulphate copper is precipitated out?
This is due to something called a displacment reaction, during a displacment reaction one of the particals from one of the substances "swap" with another partical from the solution In the case of zink and copper sulphate solution, the copper and zink 'switch places to produce copper and a solution of zink sulphate. This is how, A + BC = B +AC
When zinc rod is dipped in zinc sulphate sol then concentration of solution after time will be?
The concentration of the zinc sulphate solution will not change when a zinc rod is dipped into it. This is because zinc is already present in the solution as zinc ions, so the addition of a zinc rod will not alter the concentration of zinc ions in the solution.
Half-cell reactions when metallic zinc is dipped into a solution of copper sulphate?
Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) The copper will plate out on the zinc. The net ionic reaction is: Zn(s) + Cu+2(aq) --> Zn+2(aq) + Cu(s)
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 happens when copper wire is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution?
no reaction would take place
What happens to gold when dipped into a solution of copper sulfate?
It isn't displaced as gold is less reactive than copper sulphate!
When an iron nail is dipped into copper sulphate solution after sometime the colour is changed into?
When a iron nail is dipped into copper sulphate solution after sometime the colour is changed into pale green.
Iron nail dipped in copper sulphate solution?
When an iron nail is dipped in the solution of copper sulphate solution , after a while the solution changes into the colour of green becoming iron sulphate and a brown substance is found on the iron nail which is copper so we get to know that the displacement reaction is produced
What happens when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution?
A brown layer of copper gets deposited on iron nail. This change is due to a chemical reaction between copper sulphate and iron. Also the colour of the solution changes from blue to green due to the formation of iron sulphate. This reaction can be represented by the following equation: Copper sulphate + Iron = Iron sulphate + Copper solution (CuSO4) + (Fe) = (FeSO) + (Cu)
Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail 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.
Why does the blue colour of copper sulphate disappear when a zinc plate is dipped into it?
The copper plates out while the zinc dissolves, leaving a transparent zinc sulphate solution.
What happens when copper plate is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution?
There would be no reaction because copper is a less reactive metal than iron. Refer to the related link for an activity series of metals.

What happens with gold dipped in iron sulphate solution?
Nothing. Gold is a noble metal- it is not displaced by 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 happen when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution. why does the colour changes?
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.
