Displacement and redox reaction

Copper is displaced

Explanation:

Iron metal can react with a solution of a salt containing the copper (II) cation, for instance, copper (II) sulfate. This is a displacement reaction.

Fe (s) + CuSO₄ (aq) → FeSO₄ (aq) + Cu (s)

Fe is incorporated into the salt, forming iron (II) sulfate and Cu is displaced. This reaction can also be considered a redox reaction because iron is oxidized and copper is reduced.
