Samples of four metals A, B, C and D were taken and added to the following solution one by one. The results obtained have been tabulated as follows:
Metals | Iron (II) sulphate | Copper (II) sulphate |
A | No reaction | Displacement |
B | Displacement | |
C | No reaction | No reaction |
D | No reaction | No reaction |
Metals | Zinc sulphate | Silver nitrate |
A | ||
B | No reaction | |
C | No reaction | Displacement |
D | No reaction | No reaction |
Use the table above to answer the following questions about metals A, B, C and D.
i). Which is the most reactive metal?
is the most reactive metal.
ii). What would you observe if B is added to a solution of copper(II) sulphate?
When metal B is added to copper (II) sulphate solution, a displacement reaction occurs, causing the blue colour sulphate solution a copper deposit to form on metal B.
iii). Arrange the metals A, B, C and D in the order of decreasing reactivity.
Tthe decreasing order of reactivity of the metals is .
