Best Answer

the iron turns into copper, this means it goes a redish colour. this is because iron is stronger than copper, so the iron takes over and bags the chloride for itself. which makes iron chloride.

CuCo2 + Fe = FeCo2 + Cu

CopperChloride + iron = IronChloride + Copper

Why does the reaction of iron and copper chloride occur?

The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride. Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.

What reaction will occur if copper sulphate and iron mixed?

The chemical reaction is, Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) = FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s). This occurs when the copper and iron are mixed together. The iron displaces some of the copper from its compound and the iron acts like this because it is more reactive than copper is.

Nothing happens, because copper is below iron in the reactivity series, so it can't displace iron in iron compounds
