Question
Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is kept immersed in it?
Advertisements
Solution
The colour of copper sulphate solution changes when an iron nail is kept immersed in it because a displacement reaction occurs between copper sulphate and iron to produce ferrous sulphate solution, which is green in colour.
\[\ce{\underset{(Blue solution)}{\underset{Copper sulphate}{CuSO4_{(aq)}}} + \underset{(Nail)}{\underset{Iron}{Fe_{(s)}}} -> \underset{(Greenish solution)}{\underset{Ferrous sulphate}{FeSO4_{(aq)}}} \underset{(Reddish brown nail)}{\underset{Copper}{Cu_{(s)}}}}\]
