Why does the blue colour of copper
Why does the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fade when an iron nail is dipped in it?
कॉपर सल्फेट विलयन में लोहे की कील डुबोने पर उसका नीला रंग फीका क्यों पड़ जाता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Copper sulphate is converted into iron sulphate/ कॉपर सल्फेट, आयरन सल्फेट में परिवर्तित हो जाता है
📘 Explanation
When an iron nail is dipped into copper sulphate (CuSO₄) solution, a displacement reaction takes place.
Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper from copper sulphate solution.
Chemical reaction:
$Fe + CuSO_4 \rightarrow FeSO_4 + Cu$
-
Blue colour of the solution is due to copper sulphate.
-
After reaction, iron sulphate (FeSO₄) is formed, which is light green in colour.
-
Copper metal gets deposited on the iron nail.
👉 Hence, the blue colour fades because copper sulphate changes into iron sulphate.
📗 व्याख्या
जब लोहे की कील को कॉपर सल्फेट (CuSO₄) के घोल में डाला जाता है, तब विस्थापन अभिक्रिया (Displacement Reaction) होती है।
लोहा, तांबे से अधिक क्रियाशील होता है, इसलिए वह तांबे को उसके यौगिक से हटा देता है।
रासायनिक अभिक्रिया:
$Fe + CuSO_4 \rightarrow FeSO_4 + Cu$
-
नीला रंग कॉपर सल्फेट के कारण होता है।
-
अभिक्रिया के बाद आयरन सल्फेट (FeSO₄) बनता है, जिसका रंग हल्का हरा होता है।
-
तांबा लोहे की कील पर जम जाता है।
👉 इसलिए नीला रंग फीका पड़ जाता है।
⭐ Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य
🔹 English
-
This reaction follows the reactivity series of metals.
-
Iron is placed above copper in the reactivity series.
🔹 Hindi
-
यह अभिक्रिया धातुओं की क्रियाशीलता श्रेणी पर आधारित है।
-
क्रियाशीलता श्रेणी में लोहा, तांबे से ऊपर होता है।
