The upper class had the capacity to sell farmers, who could not repay their debts in a bad season, into slavery. This brought the city-state to the brink of revolution, and Solon was appointed with dictatorial power to put an end to it and buy back the enslaved. However ongoing oppression resulted in the appointment of tyrants to fix the problem. They did this but had to levy taxes to pay for lrge bodyguards to protect them from the aristocrats, and this brought them into disfavour. After the tyrants were expelled, Cleisthenes introduced limited democracy to give the lower classes a say in running Athens.

What is the reaction between copper sulphate and lead?

When copper sulfate reacts with lead, a displacement reaction occurs where lead displaces copper from copper sulfate solution. This reaction results in the formation of lead sulfate and copper metal as products. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Pb(s) + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + PbSO4(s).


What is the chemical reaction of Pb?
