Iron is more reactive than copper and the ferrous (Fe++) ions will replace the copper (Cu++) ions in the sulphate. CuSO4 is blue, FeSO4 is green.
faded green in colour
green solution
What is the metal cation that gives the 'green' colour.
zinc granules will have their colour changed to brownish black in colour.
Zinc Sulphate Solution is colourless and zinc sulphate is white.
No colour
The solution is colorless.
Copper sulphate's colour is blue.
When a iron nail is dipped into copper sulphate solution after sometime the colour is changed into pale green.
faded green in colour
sulphate
green solution
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.
What is the metal cation that gives the 'green' colour.
When an iron nail is dipped in the solution of copper sulphate solution , after a while the solution changes into the colour of green becoming iron sulphate and a brown substance is found on the iron nail which is copper so we get to know that the displacement reaction is produced
zinc granules will have their colour changed to brownish black in colour.
Zinc Sulphate Solution is colourless and zinc sulphate is white.
