Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates a displacement reaction using iron and copper sulphate solution. An iron nail is dipped in blue CuSO<sub>4</sub> solution and left for some time. A reddish-brown copper layer forms on the nail and the blue solution becomes lighter, showing that iron displaces copper from copper sulphate.
