Question

how will you show that copper is more reactive than silver

Answer 1

you answer is--------------. The metals copper, silver gold and platinum are less reactive than hydrogen and they do not replace hydrogen from water or acid. ... Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution and iron from ferrous sulphate solution. So zinc is more reactivethan iron and copper.

Answer 2

The more reactive element can displace the less reactive element from its solution. take two test tubes in  test tube -1 take silver Sulphate solution(white in color) & in test tube-2  take copper Sulphate solution (blue in color). Add copper turnings to test tube -1 and add silver piece to test tube -2 keep the test tubes undisturbed for 15 minutes. After sometime observe the color changes in both test tubes. The color in test tube – 1 changed from white to blue and there is no color change in test tube-2.this indicates in test tube-1 copper displaces silver from its silver Sulphate solution forms copper Sulphate. And in test tube- 2 no displacement reaction takes place. Hence from this experiment we are proving that copper is more reactive than silver.
