Answer: 3. Ferrous Sulphate ( FeSO₂),
Explanation:
Copper Sulphate (CuSO₄) + Iron (Fe) → __Ferrous Sulphate ( FeSO₂)__ + Copper ( Cu)
Since we know the reactants and one of the products, we can work backward to discover what the other reactant may be.
As it is in the question, we can map the reactants and product:
Reactants Product
Copper Copper
Sulphate _____
Iron _____
This indicates that the product is a combination of Iron and Sulphate. Since Sulphate is of Valency two and Iron would want to match this valency, the likely product is Iron (II) Sulphate, commonly known as Ferrous Sulphate.
