Question

The reaction between Iron and Copper sulphate is a displacement reaction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Displacement reactions are the type of reaction in which more reactive metal displaces less reactive metal from its salt solution.

Example: since Iron($\mathrm{Fe}$) is more reactive than Copper($\mathrm{Cu}$).Hence Iron can displace Copper from its Salt solution and it is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal.

Chemical equation:

$\underset{\mathrm{Iron}}{\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Copper}\mathrm{sulphate}}{{\mathrm{CuSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\underset{}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{Ferrous}\mathrm{sulphate}}{{\mathrm{FeSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Copper}}{\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}$

Therefore the given statement is true.
