The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of what happens when an iron rod is dipped in a CuSO4 (copper(II) sulfate) solution, we can analyze the chemical reaction that occurs step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Components When an iron rod is dipped in a CuSO4 solution, we have two main components: - Iron (Fe) from the iron rod. - Copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) in the solution. ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Iron is more reactive than copper. Therefore, when the iron rod is placed in the CuSO4 solution, a displacement reaction occurs. The iron displaces the copper from the copper sulfate solution. ### Step 3: Write the Chemical Equation The reaction can be represented by the following equation: \[ \text{Fe (s)} + \text{CuSO}_4 (aq) \rightarrow \text{FeSO}_4 (aq) + \text{Cu (s)} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the Color Change - The CuSO4 solution is blue in color due to the presence of copper ions (Cu²⁺). - As the reaction proceeds, copper ions are reduced to solid copper (Cu), which precipitates out of the solution. - The iron ions (Fe²⁺) are formed in the solution, which gives the solution a greenish color (due to the formation of iron(II) sulfate). ### Step 5: Conclusion Based on the above analysis: 1. The blue color of the CuSO4 solution changes to green as the reaction occurs. 2. A brown layer of copper is deposited on the iron rod. 3. The blue color does not completely vanish; instead, it changes to green. Thus, the correct answer is that the blue color of the solution turns green. ### Final Answer The blue color of the solution turns green. ---
