Question

Can copper displace iron from iron sulphate solution ? Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution but copper cannot displace iron from iron sulphate solution because copper is less reactive than iron. In such type of reaction the more reactive element displaced the less reactive element. It's an example of displacement reaction. Also the color changes. Cooper sulphate solution is of blue color and iron sulphate of green color.
