Will copper displace the iron from iron oxide?

Yes, copper can displace iron from iron oxide through a displacement reaction where copper will replace iron in the compound. This reaction will form copper oxide and free iron.


Why zinc is electroplated on iron used to make bridges?

Zinc is electroplated on iron to form a protective barrier against corrosion. This process, known as galvanization, helps to prevent rusting of the iron structure, such as bridges, by acting as a sacrificial anode. The zinc coating corrodes preferentially to the iron, thus extending the lifespan of the structure.


Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate?

Iron is more reactive than copper, so when iron is added to copper sulfate solution, iron displaces copper in the reaction and forms iron sulfate. This process is known as a displacement reaction. This allows copper to be extracted from copper sulfate solution using iron.
