    If an iron wire is placed in a solution of copper sulphate

    A)  copper will precipitate out

    B)  iron will dissolve and precipitate out thereafter

    C)  iron and copper both will go into solution

    D)  no reaction will take place

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[Fe+CuS{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}FeS{{O}_{4}}+Cu,\]\[Fe\]is above \[Cu\]in electrochemical series \[{{E}^{o}}\] of Fe is smaller  than \[Cu\]. Therefore, \[Fe\] is more reactive\[Cu\]. Hence, Fe displaces \[Cu\] from the aqueous solution of\[CuS{{O}_{4}}\].
