Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) ==> FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
The only problem I see with the question is the example. The question concerns a single replacement reaction and the example is a double replacement reaction. The two are not the same. I know, the form is to show how the states are to be written, but teachers need to pay attention to detail when they write problems.
Part 1 of 2
Write the balanced molecular equation for the reaction between iron metal (the nail) and aqueous copper II sulfate and classify this reaction. Include the states: solid (s), liquid (l), aqueous (aq), or gas (g). Use your observations to help you determine the products of this reaction.
Below is an example of the form of the answer:
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq) PbCl2 (s) + 2 KNO3 (aq).
