actually, the real experiment is to have two test tubes, one with hot water and copper sulphate and other with vinegar and iron fillings. so you put two drops of the filings in the copper sulphate one and cover test tube with your thumb. then strike a match and keep it near the mouth of the tube, when pressure builds remove your thumb and it explodes. [ tiny explosion]

But if u add water ,copper sulphate with iron fillings, then it turns all brownish and stuff, thats cuz the irons stronger then the sulphate or something... i hope it helped!!!

Why colour of copper sulphate solution changes to light green when iron filings are added?

The color change occurs because the iron filings react with copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate and copper. This reaction results in a displacement reaction, where the iron displaces the copper in the compound. This changes the chemical composition of the solution, resulting in a light green color.

Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added


What happens when ammonia is added to copper sulfate?

When Ammonia solution is added to Copper sulphate, at first a precipitate of Copper hydroxide is formed. If excess ammonia is added, finally a deep bluish solution of Tetraamine Copper(II) Sulfate is formed


What happens when copper sulfate was added to water?

When copper sulfate is added to water, it dissociates into copper ions and sulfate ions. The copper ions give the solution a blue color, while the sulfate ions do not impact the color. The solution becomes a blue color due to the presence of copper ions.


When solid copper sulfate is added to water and stirred what is the solute?

The solute is copper sulfate, as it is the substance being dissolved in water.


Does copper sulfate dissolve in alcohol?

Yes, copper sulfate is soluble in alcohol. When added to alcohol, copper sulfate will dissolve and form a homogeneous solution. However, the solubility may vary depending on the concentration of both the copper sulfate and alcohol.


What colour is pure water when anhydrous copper sulphate is added and is there a soild residue?

Anhydrous copper sulfate solid is white. When it is added to water, it dissolves and the solution of aqueous copper sulfate becomes blue.


Does the mass of water increase when you add copper sulfate?

The mass of water does not increase when copper sulfate is added to the water, unless the copper sulfate is hydrated. The mass of the mixture of water and copper sulfate, of course, does increase.


What is the reaction when aluminum is added to copper sulfate?

When aluminum is added to copper sulfate, a single displacement reaction occurs where the aluminum replaces the copper in the compound to form aluminum sulfate and copper metal. This reaction is represented by the equation: 2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq) -> Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s).


What is the pink precipitate formed when iron is added to copper sulfate?

The pink precipitate is finely divided copper, reduced to its metallic form by displacement from copper sulfate by iron, which is higher in the electromotive series than copper. Iron sulfate remains in solution.


Can copper sulphate crystals dissolve in water?

Yes, copper sulfate crystals can dissolve in water. When added to water, the crystals break down into copper ions and sulfate ions, forming a solution of copper sulfate.


Why does iron filings in copper sulphate solution become colourless from green after sometime?

Copper sulfate solution starts of a blue colour. When Iron metal is added to the solution a REDOX reaction begins in which the copper is reduced (gains electrons) to become copper metal and the iron is oxidised (loses electrons) to become iron ions. When the iron ions go into solution, it will change to a green colour which is the colour of iron (II) sulfate. As a general principle, a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from solution by the process described above.
