A group of metal elements known as Reactive metals can react with acids, water, mineral acids, and powerful oxidizing acids.
Explanation:
- To Find out which metal is more reactive- zinc or copper, we can conduct a displacement reaction between them. A displacement reaction is a reaction wherein a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.
- If Zinc displaces copper from its compound- copper sulphate, then zinc is more reactive then copper and if it is not able to, then copper is more reactive then zinc.
- After adding zinc granules to the copper sulphate solution, we observe that The zinc metal is coated with dark-black elemental copper and the colour of the solution changes from blue to colourless indicating that zind has displaced copper.
- This means Zinc is more reactive metal than copper.
