Aluminum (US spelling) is actually much more reactive than iron, and would corrode faster. In fact, it corrodes so fast that in forms a coating of aluminum oxide on any surface in contact with air. But since the surface is covered, it protects the rest of the metal, and it never corrodes deeper than a fraction of a millimeter. So technically, aluminum corrodes much faster, but much less completely because most of the mass of it is protected by the corroded layer.

Iron nail dipped in copper sulphate solution?
When an iron nail is dipped in the solution of copper sulphate solution , after a while the solution changes into the colour of green becoming iron sulphate and a brown substance is found on the iron nail which is copper so we get to know that the displacement reaction is produced
Does copper or iron corrode faster and why?
Iron corrodes faster than copper because iron is more susceptible to oxidation in the presence of moisture and oxygen, leading to the formation of rust. Copper, on the other hand, forms a protective layer of copper oxide (patina) on its surface that slows down the rate of corrosion.
What metal reacts quickest copper gold iron silver?
Gold does not react with air or water, so it does not tarnish or corrode easily. Copper reacts slowly with air and water to form a patina. Silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air to form tarnish. Iron reacts quickly with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust).
How would you separate copper strands and iron filings?
One way to separate copper strands and iron filings is by using a magnet. Copper is not magnetic but iron is, so you can use the magnet to attract and separate the iron filings from the copper strands. Alternatively, you could also use the difference in density between copper and iron to physically separate them using techniques like flotation or panning.
What will happen if copper metal is added to iron sulfate solution?
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.

If steel and copper were in contact in an electrolyte which would corrode?
In this scenario, copper would corrode because it is lower in the galvanic series compared to steel. When two dissimilar metals are in contact in an electrolyte, the metal higher in the galvanic series (steel) acts as the anode and corrodes, while the metal lower in the series (copper) acts as the cathode and is protected.
Why are copper and iron not used to make earrings?
Because they corrode and stain on skin contact.
What makes copper not rust?
"Rust" is the result of a reaction between iron and oxygen. Copper has no iron in it, so does not rust. It can corrode, though, and yield a bright whitish-blue material.
What is the Interaction between copper and iron?
When copper and iron come into contact, a process known as galvanic corrosion can occur. This happens because copper is more noble (less reactive) than iron, causing the iron to corrode while the copper remains unaffected. It is important to prevent direct contact between copper and iron in order to avoid galvanic corrosion.
Can copper pennies rust?
Copper corrodes, things made of iron rust. Copper can corrode, but it takes longer than it does for iron to rust.
What will happen when iron and copper sulfate react?
Copper sulphate is a blue coloured solution. As soon as you react it with iron, you will notice that the solution is turning into light green which means iron sulphate solution is forming. Iron being more reactive than copper displaces copper from its soluion.
Who is hot first iron or copper?
iron
What can corrode?
iron

What happens when you pour copper over iron?
When copper is poured over iron, they may form a bimetallic strip due to their different properties. Over time, the two metals may undergo a chemical reaction known as galvanic corrosion, causing the iron to corrode in the presence of the copper. This can weaken the materials and lead to degradation of the metals.
Which metals rust faster steel zinc-coated steel iron or copper and why?
I would like to make two things clear. -Copper is metal, so your question is like "What tastes better? Fruit or apple?" - Rusting is restricted to Iron, another metal. The word "Corrosion" is used for all other metals, such as Copper. Corrosion and Rusting are pretty much the same, but they are used in different places. If you wanted to know if Other Metals corrode faster than Copper, the answer would be that it depends on the metal in question. Most metals, like Iron, Aluminum, Zinc,etc , are more reactive than Copper, so they corrode faster. However, some metals, like Mercury, Silver, Platinum, Gold, etc, are less reactive, so they corrode slower than Copper. I hope this answers your question.
