Ia a iron (III) and copper (II) solution what are the following? What are the reactants, the prediction reaction type?

Detail: Iron (IIII) and copper (II) sulfate solution.
Fill a small test tube halfway with copper (II) sulfate solution. Add a 2.0 gram iron rod to the solution and observe the reaction. The observation is that the iron to the solution turned red-ish, lava-like color.

The above given is a displacement reaction

In which one metal relocates other metal couple change in their electrode chemical potential occurs

if you liken the electrode potential values it will tell the reaction type

The featoms has affinity to lose electron and it get transformed into ions where as copper has tendency to get reduced and converted to copper metal a as result we will see brown ppt which is nothing but copper metal

Fe-0.044 -ve shows inclination to lose electron

Cu+0.34 + ve indicates tendency to gain electron in these case
hope it helps
