What happens when an iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate solution?

The iron is more reactive than copper so when the iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate the iron takes sulphate ion from the copper sulphate and copper metal is deposited on top of the iron so that the nail will then look like a copper nail.The chemical reaction is called a replacement reaction, and is chemically represented as : CuSO4(compound in solution) + Fe(metal) ------>Cu(deposited metal) + FeSO4.

What happens when a silver spoon is kept immersed in aqueous copper sulphate solution?
nothing will happen as copper is more reactive than silver.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to copper sulphate solution?
Nothing
What happens when copper sulphate is added to water?
Formation of a copper sulfate solution in water. This solution has a herbicide and fungicide effect.
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)
How is copper released from a copper sulphate solution?
silicate, carbonate or sulphate
What happens when a silver spoon is kept immersed in aqueous copper sulphate solution?
nothing will happen as copper is more reactive than silver.
What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solution?
the solution turns green and the nails develop a brown deposit which is copper. the iron displaces the copper in the copper sulphate solution. This is because iron is more reactive than copper.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to copper sulphate solution?
Nothing
A silver spoon is kept immersed in an aqueous copper sulphate solution what changes will take place?
as silver is less reactive than copper the silver when immersed will loose its electrons and the copper will displace it. i apologize if it is the wrong answer.... this is actually a guess :P
What happens when copper sulphate is added to water?

What happens when copper sulphate is dissolved in water?
Copper Sulphate mixed with hot water makes Copper Sulphate Crystals.
Aqueous solution of copper sulphate is a homogeneous mixture?
an aqueous solution of copper sulphate is homogeneous
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)
How is copper released from a copper sulphate solution?
silicate, carbonate or sulphate
What happens when copper rod is immersed in silver nitrate solution?
Silver crystallizes on the surface of the copper as it gets absorbed into the water
Can copper sulphate be separated from its solution by crystallization?
Yes, copper sulphate(CuSO4) can be separated from its solution in crystalline form.
What happens to gold when dipped into a solution of copper sulfate?
It isn't displaced as gold is less reactive than copper sulphate!
