Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why an iron strip dipped in a blue copper sulfate solution turns the blue solution pale green, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Observation**: When an iron strip is dipped into a blue copper sulfate (CuSO₄) solution, the solution changes color from blue to pale green. 2. **Understanding Reactivity**: To explain this color change, we need to refer to the reactivity series of metals. The reactivity series ranks metals based on their ability to displace other metals from their compounds. ...
