nothing will happen as i have done this experiment. I think it is because iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper can't take away the sulphate. but if you added the iron to a copper sulphate solution the product would be iron sulphate this reaction is called displacment.

The iron would replace the copper in the copper sulphate solution, and copper metal would come out of solution, forming on the iron powder. The solution will also turn a light green color as it turns from copper sulfate to iron sulfate. The chemical equation for this single replacement/displacement reaction is Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq) .
If you put an iron filling in copper sulphate solution the iron filling will turn from a silvery grey to black.
if its a mixture of copper ii sulfate and water first if you mix it with iron you will get a green liquid

When an iron nail is dipped in the copper sulfate solution then iron displaces copper from the copper sulfate because iron is more reactive than copper.
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.
A copper sulphate solution can have different concentrations depending on how much copper sulphate crystals have been added into the water. A typical 1 molar solution of copper sulphate would need 250g of CuSO4, mixed with 700ml of H2O, with 10ml of H2SO4 added with another 290ml of water.
Its sulphate not sulfate and sorry im not sure my self
I think basically what happens is a single replacement (or maybe double?) but copper will be drawn from the copper sulfate and form on the outside of the steel wool. If it's a double replacement then something in the steel wool will replace the copper and you'll have a new sulfate solution. I remember doing this lab in chemistry a number of years back, so sorry that I can't remember all the details. T_T
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
The solution will turn yellow
Formation of a copper sulfate solution in water. This solution has a herbicide and fungicide effect.
Try it on your own. (Best answer for your problem is your action)
Anhydrous copper sulfate solid is white. When it is added to water, it dissolves and the solution of aqueous copper sulfate becomes blue.
When an iron nail is dipped in the copper sulfate solution then iron displaces copper from the copper sulfate because iron is more reactive than copper.
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.
If the water being added is pure, and the solvent in the copper sulfate solution was water, then no, this should not result in a chemical reaction. The visual change is due to dilution of the solute
Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added
Try it and find out. ROFL
there would be a single replacement reaction where the copper forms on the top of the zinc and the blue color of the copper sulfate would get lighter and eventually you would end up with zinc sulfate and copper
The reaction forms aluminum sulfate and frees copper.
