Solution
(a)
-
Copper is less reactive than hydrogen.
-
So, it does not react with dilute sulphuric acid even on heating.
-
Hence, no reaction occurs when dilute sulphuric acid is poured on a copper plate.
-
While, copper reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid giving hydrogen gas and blue coloured copper salt crystals.
(b)
- Since, iron is more reactive than copper.
- So, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution.
- Therefore, when iron nails are placed in copper sulphate solution a colour change from blue to light green
