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 blue colour of the solution fades during the electrolysis of copper sulfate. Explain why.?

Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is 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.

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


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum


Does copper sulphate undergo any physical or chemical changes during heating?

When heated, copper sulfate undergoes a reversible physical change where it loses its water molecules (dehydration) and changes color from blue to white. This process is purely physical and does not involve any chemical reactions.

Why do you use copper sulphate?

A rather incomplete question. I could use copper sulphate for a number of reasons, for example as an electrolyte for copper plating, as a medium for growing impressive deep blue crystals, as a fungicide and so on. For fun, try dropping some iron filings into a fairly concentrated solution of copper sulphate and observe how the iron filings change to a copper colour and the solution changes to a green colour.

What changes in the colour of iron nails and coppper sulphate solution do you observe after keeping the iron nails in copper sulphate solution for about half an hour?

After keeping iron nails in a copper sulfate solution for about half an hour, you will observe that the color of the iron nails changes to a reddish-brown due to the deposition of copper on the surface of the nails. The blue color of the copper sulfate solution will fade as copper is transferred from the solution to the nails.
