containing water. Write the corresponding chemical equation also.

Q11. Fill in the blanks

a. Dissolve some crystals of copper sulphate (blue vitriol) in water. Place an iron nail in the
solution. In a while, the portion of the nail which is inside the solution will become
……………… This is because a layer of …………………… gets deposited over the surface of the
nail . The colour of the solution will slowly change from ……………. to ………………due to the
formation of iron sulphate.It

b. Copper sulphate + Iron Iron sulphate + …………………………..
