A student places a clean iron nail in a blue copper sulphate solution for 20 minutes. Which observation correctly confirms that a displacement reaction has occurred?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The solution changes from blue to green and a reddish-brown coating forms on the nail

The governing concept is the reactivity series. Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper from copper sulphate: Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu. Ferrous sulphate makes the solution green, and copper appears as a reddish-brown coating on the nail; therefore option A is correct. The other observations do not match the products or colours of this reaction.
