If copper powder and iron powder are mixed together, no noticeable reaction will occur as long as they are not exposed to any external factors like heat or moisture. However, if these metals are heated in the presence of oxygen, iron will undergo oxidation and rust, while copper will remain unaffected due to its lower reactivity.
Iron is magnetic but copper isn't. So I guess iron powder is magnetic while copper powder isn't.:)
Do you mean iron powder mixed with sulphur powder? Fe(s) + S(s) ---> FeS (iron sulfide)
The iron and sulfur react to form the compound iron sulfide.
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.
When Bordeaux mixture is mixed with iron, a redox reaction takes place where iron reduces copper(II) ions in the Bordeaux mixture to copper(I) ions. This reaction ultimately leads to the formation of a dark reddish-brown precipitate known as copper(II) oxide.
When copper powder is mixed with sulfur, it does not react in the same way as iron powder does. Copper and sulfur do not have a strong affinity for each other, so they typically do not react vigorously like iron and sulfur do, which form iron sulfide. Copper sulfide is a more stable compound that can be formed under specific conditions.
Iron is magnetic but copper isn't. So I guess iron powder is magnetic while copper powder isn't.:)
Contacting the iron powder with an aqueous solution of copper (II) salts will produce a copper coating on iron powder: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than copper and therefore will displace copper from the solution, resulting in copper-coated iron and dissolved iron cations. When all of the surface of the iron powder has been coated with copper, the iron will stop reacting because it no longer has access to the copper ions in solution, the access of the iron being blocked by the layer of copper coating the remaining iron powder.
When iron(II) sulfate reacts with copper powder, a displacement reaction occurs where the copper replaces the iron in the compound. This results in the formation of iron powder and copper(II) sulfate. The reaction is: FeSO4 + Cu --> CuSO4 + Fe.
When copper sulfate and iron are mixed, a redox reaction will occur. The iron will displace the copper in the copper sulfate solution, forming iron sulfate and copper metal. This reaction is a classic example of a displacement reaction.
the iron turns into copper, this means it goes a redish colour. this is because iron is stronger than copper, so the iron takes over and bags the chloride for itself. which makes iron chloride. CuCo2 + Fe = FeCo2 + Cu CopperChloride + iron = IronChloride + Copper
Do you mean iron powder mixed with sulphur powder? Fe(s) + S(s) ---> FeS (iron sulfide)
The chemical reaction is, Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) = FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s). This occurs when the copper and iron are mixed together. The iron displaces some of the copper from its compound and the iron acts like this because it is more reactive than copper is.
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.

When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulfate solution, a single displacement reaction occurs. The iron will displace the copper in the solution, forming iron sulfate and depositing copper on the nail, causing it to turn a brownish color due to the presence of copper.
The hypothesis for separating iron filing and sulfur powder using a magnet is that iron is a magnetic material, whereas sulfur is not. By using a magnet, we can separate the iron filings from the sulfur powder based on their magnetic properties.
The iron and sulfur react to form the compound iron sulfide.
