Question

Fe(s)+CuSO4(aq)---->FeSO4(aq)+Cu(s)
Write ionic equation and net ionic equation.
Redox yes or no
If Redox: element that is oxidized=_____
Element that is reduced=_____
Explain
Circle reaction type:combination, decomposition, single replacement, or double replacement.

Answer 1

Fe(s) +CuSO₄ (aq) ---->FeSO₄ (aq)+Cu(s)

Ionic equation

Cu⁺² + 2e- ---> Cu

Fe ---> 2e- + Fe⁺²

Net ionic is equation

Cu⁺² + Fe ---> Fe⁺² + Cu

Redox yes (It is redox reaction.)

If Redox: element that is oxidized= Iron is oxidized as its oxidation number increases .The oxidation number of Fe goes 0 to +2. It has lost electrons, so it is oxidized.

Element that is reduced= Copper is reduced as it gains electrons.

Circle reaction type: combination, decomposition, single replacement, or double replacement
