Hey!
I have done some experiment: I had 3 test tubes, in each test tube I put an iron nail and then I filled the test tubes with the following substance: H2O(aq), CuSO4(aq) and H2SO4(aq).
What I need to know is how the they reacts with the nail. This far I came:
Fe(s) + H2O(aq) --> FeO(s) + H2(g) (but is hydrogen really formed? ) or is the reaction like this: Fe(s) + O2 + H2O(aq) --> FeO(s) + H2O(aq) (?)
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> ?
Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) --> ?
Grateful for help!
