Question

(c) Which of the above solutions can be easily stored in a container made up of any of
these metals?
(1) Iron (II) sulphate
(ii) Copper (II) sulphate
(iii) Silver nitrate
(iv) Zinc sulphate​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The most reactive metal is B because it can react with iron and all the metals which come below in reactive series than iron. Hence in the table, it can react with all metal sulphates except zinc sulphate.

(b) A reddish brown deposit of copper will be formed as B will react with all other metal sulphates except zinc.

(c) B>A>C>D

The more reactive metal sulphates with which it can react the more reactive it is.

(d) Container of metal D will be appropriate because it doesn't react with any of the two.

(e) Zinc sulphate can be stored in any container made from these metals because it does not react with any of them.
