(2) Copper
(3) Tin
(4)Nickel

Answer 1

Answer:

Tin is the correct answer

Answer 2

(2) Copper containers can be used to store a solution of lead (II) nitrate.

Lead (II) nitrate:

• An inorganic substance having the chemical formula Pb(NO₃)₂ is lead(II) nitrate.
• In contrast to the majority of other lead(II) salts, it frequently appears as a colorless crystal or white powder and is soluble in water.
• Although it is noncombustible, it will quicken the combustion of combustible substances.
• An explosion could happen if the fire involves significant amounts of the substance.
• Explosions could happen if a substance is exposed to heat or fire for an extended period of time.
• When this substance is involved in a fire, toxic nitrogen oxides are created.
• Since copper is less reactive than lead, it cannot replace lead in a solution.
