The metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulphate is ?

  • A.Fe
  • B.Ag
  • C.Hg
  • D.Na

Answer: A

Iron recovers copper from copper sulphate solution.

\[\mathrm{Fe + CuSO_4 \rightarrow FeSO_4 + Cu}\] Iron is above copper in the reactivity series, so it reduces \(\mathrm{Cu^{2+}}\) to the metal. Silver and mercury lie below copper and cannot; sodium would attack the water first.
