Iron Reacting with Copper(II) Chloride

Fe + CuCl2 → FeCl2 + Cu

概要

Iron replaces copper in copper(II) chloride solution because iron is more reactive. The green copper(II) chloride solution turns pale green as iron(II) chloride forms, and copper metal deposits on the iron surface. This demonstrates the activity series of metals.
