MAKING IRON II SULPAHATE Iron sulphate is a compound formed by a reaction between copper sulphate and iron The reaction between CuSO4 and Fe is called redox reaction. This is a type of reaction where one of the reactants is reduced to form a product and one of the reactants is oxidised to form a product REDOX REACTION The redox is used for the simultaneous processes of reduction and oxidation and involves the loss or gain of electrons and the loss or gain of oxygen and hydrogen. In oxidation reaction, atoms of an element in the reaction lose electrons and increase their oxidation (Oxygen is added) While in reduction reaction atoms of an element gain electrons and its oxidation reduced (loses oxygen) In my experiment I will be using copper sulphate and iron. When copper sulphate is added to iron the equation of the reaction will be CuSO4 + Fe Cu + FeSO4 Oxidation state...
