What happens when solid iron piece is kept with cuso4 crystals ?Does any reaction takes place ? Guess the reason ??
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) => FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
Yes, a reaction would occur. Iron is higher in the reactivity series than copper as iron loses electrons more readily than copper. Hence, iron will displace copper from CuSO4 to form FeSO4 and copper.
