as silver is less reactive than copper the silver when immersed will loose its electrons and the copper will displace it.

i apologize if it is the wrong answer.... this is actually a guess :P

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


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.


Why pH probes always kept immersed in 3M Kcl solution?

I just got done talking with a vendor for pH probes and he explained that the KCl solution helps facilitate the measurement of the hydrogen ions with the electrode. It will actually seep out in small quantities from the tip which is a membrane.


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum


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.

What changes take place when silver is immersed in copper sulphate solution?

When silver is immersed in copper sulphate solution, a redox reaction takes place where silver displaces copper from the copper sulphate solution. This results in the formation of silver sulphate and metallic copper deposits on the silver surface. Over time, the silver object may lose its shine due to the formation of copper deposits on its surface.


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.


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 changes in the colour of iron nails and coppper sulphate solution do you observe after keeping the iron nails in copper sulphate solution for about half an hour?

After keeping iron nails in a copper sulfate solution for about half an hour, you will observe that the color of the iron nails changes to a reddish-brown due to the deposition of copper on the surface of the nails. The blue color of the copper sulfate solution will fade as copper is transferred from the solution to the nails.


How benedict solution prepared?

A Benedict's solution is a solution of sodium citrate, sodium carbonate and copper sulphate, whose colour changes from blue to yellow to red in the presence of reducing sugars such as glucose.


The purpose of adding hexane to the aqueous solutions of halogens?

Hexane is a nonpolar solvent that helps extract nonpolar compounds, such as halogens, from an aqueous solution. By adding hexane, the halogens will preferentially dissolve in the nonpolar layer, allowing for easier separation and purification of the halogens from the aqueous solution.

What substance changes blue anhydrous copper sulphate crystals to white?

Water changes blue anhydrous copper sulphate crystals to white by creating hydrated copper sulphate, which is white in color.


Why do you use copper sulphate?

A rather incomplete question. I could use copper sulphate for a number of reasons, for example as an electrolyte for copper plating, as a medium for growing impressive deep blue crystals, as a fungicide and so on. For fun, try dropping some iron filings into a fairly concentrated solution of copper sulphate and observe how the iron filings change to a copper colour and the solution changes to a green colour.


What is the action of aquoes solution of borax on litmus paper?

An aqueous solution of borax is basic in nature. When litmus paper is dipped into the solution, it will turn blue or remain blue, indicating that it is a base. Litmus paper changes color in response to the pH level of the solution it is placed in.


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.


How does Le Chatelier's Principle apply to changes in an aqueous solution?

Le Chatelier's Principle states that when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract the disturbance. In an aqueous solution, this means that if you change the concentration of reactants or products, the system will adjust to restore equilibrium. For example, if you add more reactants, the system will shift to produce more products to balance it out.
