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


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 is the color of a ferrous sulfate solution while heating?

The aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, FeSO4, is light green on heating. It changes to yellow then brown due to formation of ferric sulfate.


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.


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

to indicate the changes of colour and to determine whether displacement of halogen occur


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.


Why does the color with sulphate change?

This is because sulphate is a thing that just dissolve in the water and changes the colour.


What color if the ferrous sulphate is heated?

ferrous sulphate when it is heated it changes into red brown color


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.


When chlorine is added to potassium iodide solution the colour changes from colourless to a dark reddy brown why does this happen?

Chlorine displaces Potassium Iodide to liberate aqueous I2(brown colour). Hence the solution turns brown.
