Question

When iron reacts with copper sulfate solution, solid copper is formed. Two possible equations for this reaction are A Cuso4, + Fe Cu + FeS04 \text { B } 3

\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{Fe} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{Fe}_{2}\left(5 \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3} It was found that 10.00 g of iron powder reacted with excess copper sulfate solution to produce 11.34 g of copper. Carry out a calculation to decide which equation, A or B, represents the reaction taking place.
