Study the experimental set-up shown in the diagram and write chemical equation for the chemical reaction involved. Name and define the type of reaction. List two other metals which can be used in place of iron to show the same type of reaction with copper sulphate solution.
Solution
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
Displacement reaction – A reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution.
Zinc, Aluminium, Calcium, Magnesium (Any two)
