I'm supposed to write a balanced equation for:
$$\ce{Iron(s) + copper(II) sulfate(aq) -> ?}$$
If I use Iron(II)/ferrous I get
$$\ce{Fe + CuSO4 -> FeSO4 + Cu}$$
and if I use Iron(III)/ferric,
$$\ce{Fe + CuSO4 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + Cu}$$
(Before balancing).
Is there a way to determine which one I am supposed to use?
