ProfessorWhen silver is added to copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where silver displaces copper from the copper sulfate solution. This results in the formation of silver sulfate and copper metal. The reaction can be represented by the equation: 2Ag(s) + CuSO4(aq) -> Ag2SO4(s) + Cu(s)

Can we store copper sulphate solution in a silver vessel?
It is not recommended to store copper sulfate solution in a silver vessel as silver can react with copper sulfate to form silver sulfate and copper, leading to contamination of the solution. It is better to store copper sulfate solution in a glass or plastic container.
What is the colour change for copper(ii)sulfate and silver nitrate?
When copper (II) sulfate reacts with silver nitrate, a white precipitate of silver sulfate is formed. Copper (II) ions from copper (II) sulfate react with nitrate ions from silver nitrate to form a soluble salt.
Does CuSO4 react with Ag?
Yes, copper sulfate (CuSO4) can react with silver (Ag) to form silver sulfate (Ag2SO4) and copper metal (Cu). This is known as a single displacement reaction.
Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?
Copper does not react with magnesium sulfate because copper is less reactive than magnesium on the reactivity series. Therefore, no reaction occurs between copper and magnesium sulfate.
What is the reactants of copper sulfate plus water?
The reactants are copper sulfate (CuSO4) and water (H2O). When they react, copper sulfate dissolves in water to form a homogeneous solution.
