If a spoon of copper metal is placed in a solution of ferrous sulphate:

A

Cu will precipitate out

B

iron will precipitate

C

Cu and Fe will precipitate

D

no reaction will take place

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`E_(Cu^(2+)//Cu)^@ =0.34 R_(Fe^(2+)//fe)^@ =- 0.44 V`
So Cu can't displace `Fe^(2+)`.
