Consider the reaction below: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) mc013-1.jpg Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq)

Explanation of the Reaction

In the given reaction, iron (Fe) reacts with copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) to form copper (Cu) and iron(II) sulfate (FeSO4).

The reactants and products in the reaction are as follows:

• Reactants: Iron (Fe) and Copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4)
• Products: Copper (Cu) and Iron(II) sulfate (FeSO4)

This is a single displacement reaction where iron displaces copper from copper(II) sulfate to form copper and iron(II) sulfate.

Iron (Fe) is the element that undergoes oxidation, while copper (Cu) undergoes reduction in this reaction.
