Solution

No reaction takes place when a piece of copper is placed in ferrous sulfate solution because Iron is more reactive than Copper in the reactivity series.

Hence, copper can not displace iron in a ferrous sulfate solution.

  • Reactivity series is a list of elements in the decreasing order of their reactivity.
  • The most reactive metal lies on the top.
  • The least reactive metal is at the bottom of the series.
