Iron Displacing Copper from Copper Sulfate

Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu

Genel Bakış

Iron metal replaces copper in copper sulfate solution because iron is higher in the reactivity series than copper. An iron nail placed in blue copper sulfate solution gradually turns coppery brown as metallic copper deposits on it, while the solution loses its blue color.
