(iv) Why does the colour of copper sulphate (CuSO4) solution change, when an iron nail is dipped into it? Write chemical equation also.
Answer- When iron nails are dipped in copper sulphate solution, solution turns green from blue, because more reactive iron displaces copper forming green coloured iron sulphate. Chemical equation is as follows:
    Fe       +  CuSO4(aq)                      →    FeSO4(aq) + Cu
Iron nails +  Copper sulphate solution  →    Iron sulphate + copper.
           (blue)                                               (light green)
