Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution, iron being more reactive than copper, displaces it from its solution, hence the copper sulphate solution loses its colour.
