Solution

Let us conduct an experiment between iron nail and copper sulphate.
An iron nail is added to copper sulphate solution.
The colour of the copper sulphate solution is blue.
We know that iron is more reactive than copper so it will displace copper.
The colour of the solution will change from blue to green.
The reaction is: $F e + C u S O_{4} \to F e S O_{4} + C u$
