Questions
What changes in the colour of iron nails and copper sulphate solution do you observe after keeping the iron nails dipped in copper sulphate solution for about 30 minutes?
What happens when iron nails are put into copper sulphate solution?

Solution 1
`An iron nail displaces copper from a copper sulphate solution to form a ferrous sulphate solution, due to which the blue colour of the copper sulphate solution fades. Also, copper is deposited on the iron nail, which turns it reddish-brown in colour.
Solution 2
When iron nails are put into copper sulphate solution, the blue colour of copper sulphate fades gradually to green due to the formation of ferrous sulphate and the reddish-brown copper metal is deposited on the iron nails.
CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
