Iron reacts with copper sulfate | Stock Video - Science Source Images
Iron metal (Fe) nail is immersed into a 0.25M solution of copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) in a beaker. Since iron is more reactive than copper, a single-displacement reaction occurs: Fe + CuSO4 -> Cu + FeSO4.

October 20, 2023 -

Edit: Solved! Thank you for the input everyone.

Hi, I'm looking to demonstrate a chemical reaction for my middle schoolers, and they asked me to do an iron nail in copper sulfate. I'm planning on doing the reaction as a demonstration rather than allowing each of them their own nail/solution.

I'm a new teacher and I've never done this reaction before. Is this a good product to use?

What is the reaction between Copper Sulphate Solution and Iron ?
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactants in this reaction are Copper Sulfate (CuSO4) and Iron (Fe). Copper sulfate is in an aqueous solution form, which means it is dissolved in water. 2. **Understand Reactivity**: Iron is more reactive than copper.

When "doing" science, usually you try to (in-)validate a model of the workings of the world. In the case of chemists, this world is mostly confined to the scale of molecules.

That said, let's proceed with

A Theoretical Model

Listed below are some standard reduction potentials I've gathered from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 95th ed. (probably paywalled for you): $$ \begin{align} &&E^0_\text{red} / \mathrm{V}\\ \hline \ce{Fe^{2+} + 2e- & <=> Fe} & -0.447 \\ \ce{Fe^{3+} + 3e- & <=> Fe} & -0.037 \\ \ce{Cu^{2+} + 2e- & <=> Cu} & 0.342 \\ \end{align} $$

Now we can calculate the potential (and the resulting electromotive force EMF) for each of the reactions: $$ \begin{align} E^0_\text{(Fe2)} = E^{0}_\text{red}(\text{red}) - E^0_\text{red}(\text{ox}) &= 0.342~\mathrm{V} - (-0.447~\mathrm{V}) = 0.789~\mathrm{V} \\ E^0_\text{(Fe3)} &= 0.342~\mathrm{V} - (-0.037~\mathrm{V}) = 0.379~\mathrm{V} \end{align} $$

It is clear that the reaction (Fe2) releases more energy and thus should be preferred over the other reaction. This means that we expect a yield of 100% Cu and not 150% Cu.

Now that we have gathered some theoretical understanding of the matter, let's proceed to the interesting part, which is

Confirmation With Experimental Results

You have correctly calculated the theoretical yields for copper to be 0.89 g and 1.33 g, respectively. The corresponding amounts of copper are 0.014 mol and 0.021 mol.

You have measured the amount of copper produced, and it clocks in at 0.78 g. This is already a strong indication that we should side with (Fe2) on this one. But just to really be sure, let's look at the error that we would have if it was (Fe3): $$ \varepsilon = \frac{\Delta x}{x} = 41.4\% $$ This is a very high error, especially when compared to the error for (Fe2), which is only 12.1%. Assuming that you did not perform the reaction with pure Fe but a mixture of iron with some iron oxides as contaminants, did not use an analytical scale and performed the experiment in fairly uncontrolled conditions (are you sure the reaction was complete when you aborted?) this error is not as bad as it seems.

With the experimental results in our pocket, we can now move on to the final part:

The Conclusion

We have shown, using theoretical predictions and experimental confirmation, that the reaction observed was the oxidation of iron to iron(II) under reduction of copper(II) to copper.

By the way, most of the calculations I did with an iPython Notebook, which you can view here. I might have messed something up, you never know.

What happens when I add iron to copper sulphate? - Quora
The chemical equation for the reaction is Fe (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ——— Cu (s) + FeSO4 (aq) The iron is a more active metal than copper therefore it replaces the copper in the copper sulfate solution.
