Question 7 • AA-F26 Physical Science

If copper (II) sulfate solution and an iron nail are in contact, a replacement reaction occurs. What would the products of the reaction be?2Fe + 3CuSO4 → ?

Answer
A
2Fe + 3CuSO4
B
Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Cu
C
2Fe + 3Cu + 3S + 3O4

Explanation

Iron is more reactive than copper, so it replaces copper in copper(II) sulfate. The balanced equation is 2Fe + 3CuSO4 → Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Cu, producing iron(III) sulfate and copper metal. Therefore, choice B is correct.
