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.

When water is added to white copper sulfate (CuSO4), it dissolves and forms a blue-colored solution. This reaction is reversible, as the blue color disappears when the water evaporates and the white copper sulfate crystals are left behind.
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
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an insoluble base that can be used to make copper sulfate. When sodium hydroxide is added to a solution of copper sulfate, a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide forms. This precipitate can be filtered and then reacted with sulfuric acid to produce copper sulfate.
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.
When adding milennium to a copper sulfate solution, a pink solid may form if the milennium is a reducing agent that can reduce the copper ions in the solution to copper (I) oxide, which is pink in color. This reaction is indicative of the reduction of copper (II) sulfate to copper (I) oxide.
When copper sulfate is added to water, it dissociates into copper ions and sulfate ions. The copper ions give the solution a blue color, while the sulfate ions do not impact the color. The solution becomes a blue color due to the presence of copper ions.
Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added
The color of the copper sulfate solution changes from blue to colorless when zinc granules are added to it. This is because zinc displaces copper in the solution through a chemical reaction, forming zinc sulfate and leaving the solution without copper ions responsible for its blue color.
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
When iron is added to a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where the iron displaces copper from the copper sulfate solution. This results in the formation of iron sulfate and copper metal. The iron gradually dissolves in the solution, while the copper metal precipitates out.
Try it on your own. (Best answer for your problem is your action)
When copper sulfate is added to water, it dissolves and forms a blue solution. The copper ions (Cu2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-) are dispersed in the water, making a homogeneous mixture. This solution can be used for various applications, such as in agriculture as a fungicide or in chemistry experiments.
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
Anhydrous copper sulfate solid is white. When it is added to water, it dissolves and the solution of aqueous copper sulfate becomes blue.
Yes, copper sulfate is soluble in alcohol. When added to alcohol, copper sulfate will dissolve and form a homogeneous solution. However, the solubility may vary depending on the concentration of both the copper sulfate and alcohol.
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.
Yes, copper sulfate crystals can dissolve in water. When added to water, the crystals break down into copper ions and sulfate ions, forming a solution of copper sulfate.
