Which metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulphate?
Fe
Why will iron displace copper from aqueous solutions of copper salts?
Because iron is more reactive than copper. If iron displaces copper, that releases energy (enthalpy). If copper were to displace iron, that would require energy to be used. This is less favourable and , averaged over the huge number of molecules, atoms and ions in the solution, the more energy producing reaction is vastly preferred. Hence, iron put into copper sulphate solution gets coated in copper and the solution slowly loses its blue colour. But if you put copper metal in iron sulphate solution, nothing noticable occurs.
Can humans use copper sulphate for infection?
No, at one point it was used as an emetic, but it was later discovered that copper sulphate is quite toxic to humans.
Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate?
Iron is more reactive than copper, so when iron is added to copper sulfate solution, iron displaces copper in the reaction and forms iron sulfate. This process is known as a displacement reaction. This allows copper to be extracted from copper sulfate solution using iron.
How can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Since iron (Fe) is more reactive than copper (Cu) it will be 'plated' with copper when the metal iron is stuck in copper sulfate solution. Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) + [SO42-]aq ---> Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) + [SO42-]aq
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.
What is the formula for Copper Sulphate for testing for presence of Stainless Steel?
The formula for Copper Sulphate is CuSO4. To test for the presence of stainless steel, you can immerse the suspected stainless steel object in a solution of Copper Sulphate. If the object is not stainless steel and contains iron, a red-brown coating of copper will form on the object due to a displacement reaction between iron and copper ions in the solution.
Can copper sulphate used on cuts?
Copper sulphate obtained from the pharmacy can be used on cuts. Other sources of copper sulfate, such as root removing compounds cannot be used on the skin because they contain other substances. Copper sulphate can help to kill pathogens that cause infection.

Fe

What is the colour of copper sulphate at room temperature?
the copper sulphate i used at room temperature was blue.
What is iron sulphate salt used for?
Iron is a magnet so it could be used for separating bits of metal from crushed up rock? True for iron, and separating bits of iron. But iron sulphate is not magnetic.
Where is copper sulphate used?
for electroplating or wood presevative
Can humans use copper sulphate for infection?
No, at one point it was used as an emetic, but it was later discovered that copper sulphate is quite toxic to humans.
What acid is used to make copper sulphate?
Sulfuric acid is commonly used to make copper sulfate by reacting it with copper oxide or copper carbonate. The reaction forms copper sulfate and water, with sulfuric acid providing the necessary protons for the reaction.
Which single term is used to describe the mixing of copper sulphate and water kept in a beaker on its own?
The term used to describe the mixing of copper sulphate and water in a beaker is "dissolution." This process involves the copper sulphate particles dispersing and mixing with the water to form a homogeneous solution.
Why can iron be used used to get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Iron is more reactive than copper
