Want this question answered?
Iron is magnetic but copper isn't. So I guess iron powder is magnetic while copper powder isn't.:)
Do you mean iron powder mixed with sulphur powder? Fe(s) + S(s) ---> FeS (iron sulfide)
The iron and sulfur react to form the compound iron sulfide.
Copper sulphate is a blue coloured solution. As soon as you react it with iron, you will notice that the solution is turning into light green which means iron sulphate solution is forming. Iron being more reactive than copper displaces copper from its soluion.
The iron in total cereal is elemental iron shavings which can be extracted from the cereal with a strong magnet after it has been ground to a powder and mixed with water.
I want the answer

Contacting the iron powder with an aqueous solution of copper (II) salts will produce a copper coating on iron powder: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than copper and therefore will displace copper from the solution, resulting in copper-coated iron and dissolved iron cations. When all of the surface of the iron powder has been coated with copper, the iron will stop reacting because it no longer has access to the copper ions in solution, the access of the iron being blocked by the layer of copper coating the remaining iron powder.
yes it is hard though
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
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
You get iron sulphide.
As the mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder are together/mixed it can be easily separated by a magnet.

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
Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.
