Ni(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → Cu(s) + NiSO₄(aq)

Ni + Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻ → Cu + Ni²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Ni + Cu²⁺ → Cu + Ni²⁺

Answer:-

Ni + CuSO4 --> NiSO4 + Cu

Explanation:-

The symbol for Nickel is Ni.

The Symbol for copper is Cu.

Copper Sulphate has the formula CuSO4.

If Nickel replaces copper from copper sulphate then nickel sulphate is formed.

Nickel sulphate has the formula NiSO4.

So the equation becomes

Ni + CuSO4 --> NiSO4 + Cu
