The reaction between iron and copper sulphate solution represents which type of reaction ?(1) decomposition (2) combination(3) single displacement (4) double decomposition


Correct answer: (3) single displacement

Explanation: As iron is more reactive than copper, so it will displace copper from copper sulphate solution and form iron sulphate.

The reaction is given by:

$Fe(s) + CuSO_4 (aq) → FeSO_4(aq) + Cu(s)$

Hence, the following reaction is an example of a displacement reaction.
