Can copper sulphate solution be stored in iron container?

Open in App

Solution

$C u S O_{4} + F e ⟶ F e S O_{4} + C u$
$F e$ being more reactive than $C u$ displaces $C u$ from its' solution, turning $C u S O_{4}$ solution to green $F e S O_{4}$ solution.s
Thus, copper sulphate solution is not stored in the iron container.
