Question

2. Three test tubes A, B and C are taken with CuSO4, FeSO4 and AgNO3 solutions, respectively. What will
be the observations if:
(a) Fe metal is added to CuSO4 solution in the test tube A?
(b) Cu turnings are added to FeSO4 solution in the test tube B?
(c) Zn is added to AgNO3 solution in the test tube C?

Give reasons to justify your answer.​

Answer 1

(a) Fe is a high reactive metal than copper according to reactivity series . then ,In test tube A ,Fe deisplaces copper . there is a displacement reaction

(b) Cu doesn't displaces Fe because it is lower reactive metal according to reactivity series

(c) Zn is higher reactive metal than Ag then it displaces it
