Hi,
Aluminium metal is more reactive
metal than iron metal in the reactivity series and hence aluminium
displaces iron from iron sulphate and it is itself eaten away to
form aluminium sulphate and iron metal which settles at the bottom
of container the reaction involved can be represented as:
Al + 3FeSO4
→Al2(SO4)3
+ 3Fe
