Solution
In beaker A1, a reddish brown layer of copper will deposit on the iron nail and blue coloured solution of copper sulphate will become yellowish green due to the formation of iron sulphate. This is because iron is more reactive than copper and it displaces copper from its salt solution (copper sulphate solution). In beaker B1, no change is observed because copper being less reactive does not displace iron (more reactive) from ferrous sulphate solution.
