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.

What is the pink precipitate formed when iron is added to copper sulfate?

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.


When water is added to a blue solution of copper sulfate the solution changes to a lighter shade of blue Is this an example of a chemical reaction?

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
