Explain why iron metal can displace copper form copper sulphate solution but copper cannot displace iron from iron sulphate solution.

Iron metal is more reactive than copper. Therefore, it can displace copper from copper sulphate (CuSO4) solution. Cu is less reactive than iron, therefore, cannot replace iron from iron sulphate (FeSO4).

Fe + CuSO4 FeSO4 + Cu

FeSO4 + Cu no reaction
