What happens when you put an iron nail into blue copper sulphate?

iron(Fe) being more reactive than Copper(Cu) displaces Cu from copper sulphate (CuSO4). Thus, the following equation is derived:
Fe + CuSO4 -----> FeSO4 + Cu
OBSERVATIONS-1. reddish-brown deposit on the surface of nail
2. surface of the nail is found corroded
3. the blue solution turns light green

∙ 9y agoIf you put a rusty iron nail in a copper sulfate solution, the solution turns slight green in color. It is a displacement reaction

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.
What happens on placing iron nails in a beaker containing Copper Sulphate?
when iron nails are kept in a beaker containing copper sulphate displacement reaction takes place.Iron is more reactive than copper so it displaces copper from the copper sulphate solution.Thus it becomes iron sulphate+copper
The blue colour of the solution fades during the electrolysis of copper sulfate. Explain why.?
Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it?

Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.
What happens to the particles of copper sulphate and iron?
A displacement reaction takes place. Iron being a more reactive element than copper displaces copper from its compound. Ferrous Sulphate which is green in color and copper a reddish brown element are formed. So, blue color of copper sulphate fades away and the solution becomes light green. Copper is deposited on the grayish iron filings.
Iron sulphate will not react with copper why?
because copper is below iron in electrochemical series that's why it doesnt react with iron sulphate.
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 happens when you mix copper sulphate and iron together?
iron sulphate will be created
What happens when copper sulphate is dissolved in water?
Copper Sulphate mixed with hot water makes Copper Sulphate Crystals.

What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solutions with word equation?
If iron nails are placed in a copper sulphate solution they turn green and rusted which means they become copper plated nails.I think the word equation is :iron + copper sulphate - copper + Iron sulphate.Iron displaces copper
What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solution?
the solution turns green and the nails develop a brown deposit which is copper. the iron displaces the copper in the copper sulphate solution. This is because iron is more reactive than copper.
What would be seen coating the zinc strips in the reaction zinc and iron sulphate?
Hi there, I am not very sure what the coating is called but i think it is iron oxide. lolxx
What happens to the particles when you mix copper sulphate and iron?
Diffusion occurs - The particles of copper sulphate move between the particles iron because the particles are tiny and discrete.
What is the word equation for iron sulphate and copper?
copper sulphate+iron+water
What happens when iron sulphate reacts with copper powder?
Nothing happens, because copper is below iron in the reactivity series, so it can't displace iron in iron compounds
What is reaction between iron and copper sulphate?
Iron(Fe) + Copper Sulphate(CuSO4) → Iron Sulphate(Fe2SO4) + Copper(Cu)[Displacement Reaction]
