Question

Copper metal $\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$ can displace Iron $\left(\mathrm{Fe}\right)$ from the solution of Ferrous Sulphate $\left({\mathrm{FeSO}}_4\right)$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The metals are arranged according to their reactivity in the activity series.
• A more reactive metal can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
• A less reactive metal cannot displace more reactive metals from their salt solutions.
• Copper is less reactive than Iron, therefore It cannot displace Iron from its salt solution, Ferrous Sulphate.
• Hence, the given statement “Copper metal can displace Iron from the solution of Ferrous Sulphate $\left({\mathrm{FeSO}}_4\right)$ ” is false.
