Copper is less reactive than iron, therefore iron will exist as an aqueous ion and copper will be an elemental metal. See the "reactivity series for metals."

Why copper cannot replace iron from its solution?
Copper is less reactive than Iron and hence, cannot displace Iron from any of its solutions. Anyhow, the reverse is possible ie, Iron can displace Copper from it's solution as it is more reactive than Copper.
When Fe2 (aq) is added to CuSO2(aq) does a precipitate form?
Yes, solid copper will form because iron will replace the copper, and because iron is higher on the metal activity series than copper.
What are three metals that react with air and water in the atmosphere?
Aluminum, copper, and iron.
What is the precipitate formed when water is electolysed?
The composition of the precipitate, depends upon the type of water(distilled or tap) and type of electrode(iron, copper, etc) you are using. It may be Copper hydroxide or Iron hydroxide, and many possible products.
Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Iron is more reactive than copper
Why is iron able to replace copper in copper sulfate?
Iron is more reactive than copper.
What is the word equation for iron sulphate and copper?
copper sulphate+iron+water
Why wouldn't Mercury Iron or Nickel replace the copper in copper II sulfate?
Mercury, Iron or Nickel will not replace copper in a reaction between copper II sulfate and the metals because the metals are below copper in the reactivity level of the periodic table.
Which metals among ZnCu can replace iron from its compounds?
Zinc displace iron. Iron displace copper.
What happens when you add an iron III nitrate aq solution to copper?
Nothing. Copper is lower than iron in the electromotive series and will not replace the iron in the iron nitrate solution.
What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?
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.
Why copper cannot replace iron from its salt solution?

What happen when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution. why does the colour changes?
The iron is a more active metal than copper, so the iron atoms in the nail replace the copper atoms in the copper sulphate solution, so it becomes iron sulfate. The copper atoms will start to build on the iron nail, as well.
Which reacts first in water copper or iron?
None of them act violently with water, but the answer is Iron because Copper only reacts with dilute acids.
What is the word equation for iron and sulphate?
copper sulphate+iron+water
When Fe2 (aq) is added to CuSO2(aq) does a precipitate form?
Yes, solid copper will form because iron will replace the copper, and because iron is higher on the metal activity series than copper.
