Thank you dear

Thank you dear Please I am trying to use an understanding of such a reaction to help myself in a project work. The work is in Histopathology though. I do not know much about the reaction. I read it somewhere and tried it at the hostel by using copper sulphate from the blood bank and an iron nail. it worked but my problem is when I use it in the project work it doesn't yield positive results. i am hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the reaction in the areas of the concentration of the copper sulphate needed, valency and the form of the iron ion.

I learnt that copper sulphate changes from blue to a green colour in the presence of iron. please i would like to know the stoichiometry of this reaction. Any help? thank you
