Copper will "plate" on to the outside of the nail. The observer will see a copper colored material on the nail that looks almost like rust when dry.
Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu
Copper precipitates onto the nail.
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental 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.
Iron sulfate dissolves in water to make an aqueous solution of iron sulfate.
The formula for Iron(II) sulfate is FeSO4.
Yes, ferrous sulfate or iron II sulfate, FeSO4, is a compound of iron, sulfur, and oxygen.
Copper is displaced by iron and deposited on the nail.
This reaction is: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq)----- --> FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental 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.
Iron (II) sulfate is the correct name for this compound. The Fe ion has a charge of 2 and so does the sulfate ion, so there is no subscript after them.
Iron sulfate dissolves in water to make an aqueous solution of iron sulfate.
Iron(II) sulfate. Or the older formula name, Ferrous sulfate.
The formula for Iron(II) sulfate is FeSO4.
There are two kinds of iron sulfate: iron (II) sulfate has the formula FeSO4 and iron (III) sulfate has the formula Fe2(SO4)3.
Yes, ferrous sulfate or iron II sulfate, FeSO4, is a compound of iron, sulfur, and oxygen.
iron sulfate
Actually, nothing will happen. This is because iron is much less reactive than zinc, which means it is unable to displace the zinc from the sulfate solution. If you were to do the reverse, the zinc would displace the iron in the iron sulfate solution to get zinc sulfate and Iron.
