When copper salt is added to iron powder, it can produce a chemical reaction called a displacement or a single replacement reaction. The copper ions in the copper salt solution will react with the iron powder and displace the iron ions, forming copper metal and iron ions in solution. This reaction can be represented as follows:
CuSO4 + Fe -> FeSO4 + Cu
In simple terms, adding copper salt to iron powder produces copper metal and iron sulfate (FeSO4) in solution.
