It isn't displaced as gold is less reactive than copper sulphate!
Zinc becomes plated with copper.
You will surely ruin them or make them less valuable.
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.
That's a good question. What didhappen to it?I wouldn't expect much of anything to happen, since copper is a more active metal than silver. In fact, a copper plate dipped into a silver nitrate solution should grow silver crystals as the copper ionizes and replaces silver in 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)
Zinc becomes plated with copper.
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.
You will surely ruin them or make them less valuable.
no reaction would take place
When Iron metal is dipped into a solution of copper sulfate a REDOX reaction occurs in which the Copper is reduced (gains electrons) and the iron is oxidised (loses electrons). When this happens, the iron metal becomes iron ions and the copper ions in the solution become copper metal. Cu2+(aq) + 2e- --> Cu(s) Fe(s) -->Fe2+(aq) + 2e- This occurs because the iron is a more active metal than copper, and as a general rule of thumb, a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from solution. This principle underlies the action of the sacrificial electrode.
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 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.
When a iron nail is dipped into copper sulphate solution after sometime the colour is changed into pale green.
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
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.
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.
