Questions: 1.2.3 Displacement Reaction Activity 1.9activity 1.9activity 1.9activity 1.9activity 1.9

1. Iron nails were dipped in copper sulfate solution, causing the solution's blue color to fade and the nails to become brown. This occurred via a displacement reaction where iron displaced copper from the copper sulfate. 2. When sodium sulfate solution and barium chloride solution were mixed, an insoluble white precipitate of barium sulfate formed via a double displacement (precipitation) reaction between the ions. This reaction produces a precipitate and is an example of a double displacement reaction. 3. Displacement and double displacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between reactants to form new ionic compounds.

n Take three iron nails and clean them by
rubbing with sand paper.
n Take two test tubes marked as (A) and
(B). In each test tube, take about 10 mL
copper sulphate solution.
n Tie two iron nails with a thread and
immerse them carefully in the copper
sulphate solution in test tube B for
about 20 minutes [Fig. 1.8 (a)]. Keep one
iron nail aside for comparison.
n After 20 minutes, take out the iron nails
from the copper sulphate solution.
n Compare the intensity of the blue colour
of copper sulphate solutions in test tubes
(A) and (B) [Fig. 1.8 (b)].
n Also, compare the colour of the iron nails
dipped in the copper sulphate solution
with the one kept aside [Fig. 1.8 (b)].
Take about 2 g barium hydroxide in a test tube. Add 1 g of ammonium chloride and
mix
with the help of a glass rod. Touch the bottom of the test tube with your palm. What

The above reactions are used in black and white photography.
What form of energy is causing these decomposition reactions?
We have seen that the decomposition reactions require energy either
in the form of heat, light or electricity for breaking down the reactants.
Reactions in which energy is absorbed are known as endothermic

Chemical Reactions and Equations 11
Why does the iron nail become brownish in colour and the blue colour
of copper sulphate solution fades?
The following chemical reaction takes place in this Activity–
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) (1.24)
(Copper sulphate) (Iron sulphate)
In this reaction, iron has displaced or removed another element,
copper, from copper sulphate solution. This reaction is known as
displacement reaction.
Other examples of displacement reactions are
Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) (1.25)
(Copper sulphate) (Zinc sulphate)
Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) → PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s) (1.26)
(Copper chloride) (Lead chloride)
Zinc and lead are more reactive elements than copper. They displace
copper from its compounds.

n Take about 3 mL of sodium sulphate
solution in a test tube.
n In another test tube, take about 3 mL of
barium chloride solution.

Formation of barium
sulphate and sodium
chloride
You will observe that a white substance, which is
insoluble in water, is formed. This insoluble substance
formed is known as a precipitate. Any reaction that
produces a precipitate can be called a precipitation reaction.
