Observe the reaction and answer the following questions.CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)(a) Identify and write the type of chemical reaction.(b) write the definition of above reaction.

Answer»

(a) When iron powder is added to the blue coloured copper sulphate solution, the iron ions formed from iron atoms take the place or Cu2+ ions in CuSO4, and copper atoms, formed from Cu2+ ions comes out i.e. the more reactive iron displaces the less reactive Cu from copper sulphate. Therefore this reaction is a displacement reaction.

(b) The reaction in which the place of the ion of a less reactive element in a compound is taken by another more reactive element by formation of its own ions, is called displacement reaction.
