If a spoon of copper metal is placed in a solution of `FeSO_(4)`, what will be the correct observation ?
(A)Copper is dissolved in F e S O 4 to give brown deposit. (B)No reaction takes place. (C)Iron is deposited on copper spoon. (D)Both copper and iron are precipitated

A

Copper is dissolved in `FeSO_(4)` to give brown deposit.

B

No reaction takes place.

C

Iron is deposited on copper spoon.

D

Both copper and iron are precipitated.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since reduction potential of copper is higher than iron it does not get oxidised and no reaction takes place.
