Explain why a reaction would not take place between tin and zinc sulfate.

The order of reactivity is: magnesium > zinc > copper. This is because magnesium could displace copper and zinc, zinc could only displace copper, but copper could not displace magnesium or zinc. Explain why three combinations of metal and salt solution were not done in the investigation.
