What happens when an iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate solution?
The iron is more reactive than copper so when the iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate the iron takes sulphate ion from the copper sulphate and copper metal is deposited on top of the iron so that the nail will then look like a copper nail.The chemical reaction is called a replacement reaction, and is chemically represented as : CuSO4(compound in solution) + Fe(metal) ------>Cu(deposited metal) + FeSO4.
