When the iron nail is placed in copper sulphate solutiondoes the nail become iron?

If an iron nail is placed in a copper(II) sulfate solution, the iron ions are exchanged with the copper ions, creating iron sulfate and copper (which precipitates out as copper metal). Fe + CuSO4 --> FeSO4 + Cu


What would happen if a potassium alum seed crystal is placed in a supersaturated copper sulfate solution?

The seed will be destroyed.


When a crystal of copper sulphate is placed at the bottom of a beaker containing water the water slowly turns blue why?

The water gradually dissociates the copper sulfate, and copper ions in solution are blue.


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 happens to a piece of copper placed in magnesium chloride solution?

Any reaction occur.


Which colour of copper sulphate solution change when iron dipped in it?

It may seem like the iron rusts, but it doesn't. The chemical formula for copper sulfate is CuSO4, or, 1 copper atom, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms to each molecule. When the iron is placed in the solution of copper sulfate, it replaces the copper in the solution, turning copper sulfate into iron sulfate (FeSO4) and pure copper collects on the iron. This can be proved by removing the copper and seeing that the iron has lost a lot of its mass, as in, it lost mass to the copper sulfate. The iron (steel wool) takes on a pinkish color which is metallic copper deposited when the solution forms iron sulfate.


What happens when a salt like copper sulphate react with react?

When a salt like copper sulfate in placed in water, the ionic bonds are broken and the ions (copper cation and sulfate anion) separate and become hydrated by the water molecules. This is the case of dissolution or dissolving. In the case of copper(II) sulfate, for example, CuSO4(s) + H2O(l) ==> Cu^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)


What happens zinc granules are placed in copper sulphate solution?

zinc granules will have their colour changed to brownish black in colour.


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


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.


Will copper make a battery explode?

I am no sure but it think it will because I tried to connect both positive and negative using copper and luckily I took the battery off it was hot in just a few seconds so just dont even try to do it.
