What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solution?

∙ 10y ago
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 iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solutions with word equation?
If iron nails are placed in a copper sulphate solution they turn green and rusted which means they become copper plated nails.I think the word equation is :iron + copper sulphate - copper + Iron sulphate.Iron displaces copper
What happens zinc granules are placed in copper sulphate solution?
zinc granules will have their colour changed to brownish black in colour.
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.
The blue colour of the solution fades during the electrolysis of copper sulfate. Explain why.?
Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is 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 no reaction occur when copper is placed in a solution of calcium sulphate?
Copper is a less reactive metal than calcium, therefore it cannot replace the calcium in the calcium sulphate. Refer to the related link for a reactivity series.
What happens when iron nails are placed in copper sulphate solution.write word equations of the reactions involved?
When Copper sulphate and iron are kept together , nothing happens as the reactivity of Fe with the SO42- is lesser than Cu. And CuSO4 is a stable salt.
When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?
Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum
An iron nail is placed into some blue copper sulphate solution. A reaction takes place between the iron and the copper sulphate.?
Iron is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series. Hence metallic iron will displace copper cations from the solution. The solution will change colour from blue to brown. Metallic copper may be seen forming/observed on the sides of the reaction vessel/test tude.
When the iron nail is placed in copper sulphate solutiondoes the nail become iron?
If an iron nail is placed in a copper(II) sulfate solution, the iron ions are exchanged with the copper ions, creating iron sulfate and copper (which precipitates out as copper metal). Fe + CuSO4 --> FeSO4 + Cu
How is copper plated?
To copper-plate another metal, the procedure is pretty simple. You need a DC power source, a bath of copper sulphate, and a copper electrode. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the copper electrode, and the negative to the item to be plated. When the copper electrode and the item are placed in the copper sulphate solution, the circuit is complete and copper electrons will stick to the item.
What happens to a piece of copper placed in magnesium chloride solution?
Any reaction occur.
When CuSo4 solution is placed in a beaker containing water it turns blue?
The molecules of copper sulphate solution mixes with the water molecules due to diffusion thereby making the water blue.
