What happens when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution?

A brown layer of copper gets deposited on iron nail. This change is due to a chemical reaction between copper sulphate and iron. Also the colour of the solution changes from blue to green due to the formation of iron sulphate. This reaction can be represented by the following equation: Copper sulphate + Iron = Iron sulphate + Copper solution (CuSO4) + (Fe) = (FeSO) + (Cu)


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.


What is the compound name of sulphate of iron?

There are two compounds , that are sulphates of iron. It depends on the oxidation state of the iron cation. Oxid'n state '2' ; Ferrous sulphate ;Iron(II) sulphate ; (FeSO4) (Pale green colour) Oxid'n state '3' ; Ferric sulphate ;Iron(III) sulphate ; (Fe2(SO4)3) (Brown colour).


What two colour changes do you get when you add copper sulphate solution to iron wool?

When you add copper sulphate solution to iron wool. The iron wool turns copper in color and the copper sulphate solution turns pale blue as the iron displaces the copper from the copper sulphate solution forming iron sulfate.


Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail is dipped in it?

When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs. Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper in the solution and forms iron sulfate. This reaction causes the color change from blue (copper sulfate) to green (iron sulfate) as the copper ions are replaced by iron ions in the solution.

Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail 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.


Iron nail dipped in copper sulphate solution?

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


What happens with gold dipped in iron sulphate solution?

Nothing. Gold is a noble metal- it is not displaced by iron.

Iron plus copper sulphate equals iron sulphate plus copper - what change would you see on the surface of the nail?

The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.
