Why iron does not displace sodium from salt solution?
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.
Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
What would be seen coating the zinc strips in the reaction zinc and iron sulphate?
Hi there, I am not very sure what the coating is called but i think it is iron oxide. lolxx
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.
What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
How do you displace silver from copper sulphate solution?
With science!

Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
Can you store copper sulphate solution in silver vessel but not in aluminium vessel?
It is not possible to store copper sulphate solution in iron vessel.since ,iron is more reactive than copper,it displaces copper from any if its solution.the reaction takes place as , Fe(s)+CuSo4(aq)..............>FeSo4(aq)+Cu(s) (Blue color(light green solution)solution)
Can iron be in a copper color?
not pure iron... But you can provide a covering over iron to make it look like copper by just dipping it into copper sulphate solution .. Because Iron is more reactive than Copper ... it will displace it in the solution .. the color of solution will change so as the color of iron!

Why is there no colour change when a silver rod is put in blue copper sulphate solution?
Silver is less reactive than copper and so cannot displace it from a compound.

Why does magnesium displace copper from copper sulphate?
This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. .... magnesium + copper sulphate ---> copper + magnesium sulphate Mg + CuSO4 ----> MgSO4 + Cu the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal. Hope this helps. :)
What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solution?
the solution turns green and the nails develop a brown deposit which is copper. the iron displaces the copper in the copper sulphate solution. This is because iron is more reactive than copper.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
