Iron does not displace sodium from a salt solution because it is not reactive enough. Iron does, however, displace Cu from a copper sulphate solution.

What is aqueous sodium salt?

This is a solution of sodium chloride in water.


Why will iron displace copper from aqueous solutions of copper salts?

Because iron is more reactive than copper. If iron displaces copper, that releases energy (enthalpy). If copper were to displace iron, that would require energy to be used. This is less favourable and , averaged over the huge number of molecules, atoms and ions in the solution, the more energy producing reaction is vastly preferred. Hence, iron put into copper sulphate solution gets coated in copper and the solution slowly loses its blue colour. But if you put copper metal in iron sulphate solution, nothing noticable occurs.


Is salt solution?

Salt water is a solution because it dissolves and in solutions, the solute is the substance that is dissolved and the solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved. So is Salt water a solution yes.


What solute creates a saltwater solution?

The solute that creates a saltwater solution is sodium chloride (table salt). When dissolved in water, sodium chloride dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-), which impart the salty taste to the solution.


What would you see when acidified silver nitrate solution is added to a solution of Low sodium salt?

When acidified silver nitrate solution is added to a solution of low sodium salt, it would form a white precipitate of silver chloride. This is due to the chloride ions in the low sodium salt reacting with the silver ions in the silver nitrate solution to form silver chloride, which is insoluble in water.

Why copper cannot replace iron from its salt solution?

Copper is less reactive than iron, so it cannot displace iron from its salt solution in a single displacement reaction. Iron is higher in the reactivity series than copper, so iron can displace copper from its salt solution.


How can you separate salt and iron shaving?

Sodium chloride is soluble in water and the solution is filtered.


Is iron used to displace copper from solutions of its salts?

Yes, iron can displace copper from solutions of its salts through a displacement reaction. Iron has a higher reactivity than copper, so it can replace copper in the salt solution, forming iron salts and copper metal.


Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?

as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.


NaCl solution base or acid?

How do you separate sand iron filings naphthalene ball and sodium chloride?

Iron filings removed magnetically. Water will dissolve sodium chloride and suspend sand. Sand can be filtered out of the solution, and salt reovered by evaporation of water. Naphthalene can be removed separately if necessary by solution of mixture in alcohol.


Is sodium chloride saline solution?

no, sodium chloride is the chemical name for table salt.


Is salt solution a pue substance or a mixture?

Sodium chloride solution is a mixture of salt and water.


What elements are present in salt and Iron filings?

Sodium, chlorine and iron.


What about salt water?

Salt water is a water solution of sodium chloride.
