Question

Explain if the combination of iron and copper sulfate is an example of a chemical reaction

Answer 1

(a) Chemical reaction of iron nail with copper sulphate solution in water.Iron displaces copper ions from an aqueous solution of copper sulphate.It is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal.Iron is placed above copper in the activity series.

Answer 2

Yes it is.

Explanation:

When we mix Fe(iron) to CuSO⁴ (Copper sulphate), Iron removes copper from CuSO⁴ and makes FeSO⁴. This happens because iron is more reactive than copper. We cannot remove iron from this solution now until any stronger element is added.
