What would a student report nearly after 30 minutes of placing duly cleaned strips of aluminium, copper, iron and zinc in freshly prepared iron sulphate solution taken in four beakers ?

Answer»

Case-1 :  3FeSO4 (aq) + 2Al  Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + 3Fe(s)

In this case light green solution of ferrous sulphate turns into colourless due to the displacement of Fe by Al.

Case-2 :  FeSO4 + Cu  No reaction Because copper is less reactive than iron.

Case-3 :  FeSO4 + Fe  No reaction

Case-4 :  FeSO4(aq) + Zn  ZnSO4(aq) + Fe

Zinc is more reactive than iron so light green colour of solution turns into colourless.
