Answer» a. Copper is deposited on iron and the blue.colour of copper sulphate solution decreases. b. Cathode – Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- → Cu (s) (Reduction) Anode – Fe2+ (s) → Fe (aq) + 2e- (Oxidation) c. No change occurs, Reactivity of silver is less than that of copper. In the reactivity series, the position of silver is below copper. |
