Question

State, giving reasons, which of the following reactions will occur and which will not:
(a) MgSO₄ (aq) + Cu(s) → CuSO₄ (aq) + Mg(s)
(b) CuSO₄ (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
(c) MgSO₄ (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO₄ (aq) + Mg(s)

Solution

(a) MgSO₄ (aq) + Cu(s) → CuSO₄ (aq) + Mg(s)
Copper is less reactive than magnesium, so copper cannot displace magnesium. Hence, this reaction will not occur.

(b) CuSO₄ (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
Iron is more reactive than copper, so it will displace copper from copper sulphate and form iron sulphate.

(c) MgSO₄ (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO₄ (aq) + Mg(s)
Iron is less reactive than magensium, so iron can not displace magnesium. Hence, this reaction will not occur.
