    Vishakha took few wire pieces made up of different metals and placed them in blue solution of copper sulphate. What will be the changes in the colour of the solutions present in beakers I, II and III?                       

    A)
    I II III
     Green Blue Green
               

    B)
    I II III
     Blue Green Green
               

    C)
    I II III
     Green Blue Blue

    D)
    I II III
     Blue Blue Blue

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

            As iron is more reactive than copper, it displaces copper from copper sulphate solution and green solution of iron sulphate is formed. \[Fe+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Blue\,coloured\, \\  solution \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CuS{{O}_{4}}}}\,\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Green\,\,coloured \\  solution \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{FeS{{O}_{4}}}}\,+Cu\] Silver and gold are less reactive than copper. So, they do not displace copper from copper sulphate solution. Hence, solution remains blue in colour.
