Answer:

Displacement and redox reaction

Copper is displaced

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron metal can react with a solution of a salt containing the copper (II) cation, for instance, copper (II) sulfate. This is a displacement reaction.

Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

Fe is incorporated into the salt, forming iron (II) sulfate and Cu is displaced. This reaction can also be considered a redox reaction because iron is oxidized and copper is reduced.
