While doing an experiment a student observed that the blue colour of the aqueous copper sulphate solution was changed to pale green by immersing a metal rod in it. Which metal rod is immersed in it?
(a) Iron rod is immersed in it. When the iron rod is inserted in copper sulphate solution, iron being more reactive than copper displaces it and iron sulphate will be formed which is pale green in colour.
The colour of ferrous sulphate crystals is green. On heating, FeSO4.7H2O first decomposes to form anhydrous ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) which is white in colour.
i. a. Initial colour of the copper sulphate solution was blue.
b. After completion of reaction,colour of the solution changes to light green.
ii. In this reaction,colour of solution changes from blue...
Aluminium sulphate is colourless and it does not undergo any change as iron does not react with it. Copper sulphate solution is blue which changes into green due to the...
i. When excess of aqueous KCN is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate, the coordination entity formed is [Cu(CN)4]2 -.
[Cu(H2O)4]2+ + 4CN - → [Cu(CN)4]2 - + 4H2O
ii. [Cu(CN)4]2- is...
