Question

Chemical reaction:
\text{Fe(s) + CuSO}_4\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{FeSO}_4\text{(aq)} + \text{Cu(s)}
What type of reaction is this?

• A. Displacement Reaction
• B. Double Decomposition Reaction
• C. Combination Reaction
• D. Decomposition Reaction

Hint:

Remember: In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element in a compound. Here, iron displaces copper from copper sulfate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the reaction type
This is a displacement reaction, where iron (Fe) displaces copper (Cu) from copper sulfate (CuSO4). In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from a compound.

Step 2: Conclusion
In this case, iron displaces copper from copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate and copper metal. This confirms it as a displacement reaction.

Final Answer: The correct reaction type is Displacement Reaction.
\[ \boxed{\text{Displacement Reaction}} \]
