If You are provided with two containers made up of copper and Aluminium .You are provided with solution HCL,HNO3,Zncl2 and H20. In which of the above containers these solutions can be kept.Plz help me I am in trouble​

Answer 1

These solutions can be kept in the Copper container because copper is a less reactive metal and is placed below hydrogen in the reactivity series and does not react with the above chemicals whereas Aluminium is a highly reactive metal and will react with the above chemicals and hence is not suitable to contain the above solutions.
