Question

metal X is above magnesium and below lithium in the reactivity series. it was in a Beaker with nitric acid. will there be reaction? explain. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

every action has reaction

Answer 2

Yes, there will be a reaction.

• As a metal is consumed by the chemical reaction when it is placed in acid, it gradually shrinks. At the same moment, gas bubbles can be seen. During the process, bubbles of hydrogen gas are produced. You may show the flammability of hydrogen with a burning splint.
• Lithium is highly reactive because it is a member of the group 1 alkali metals, which are incredibly reactive and are never found in their pure form in nature. Lithium is more reactive than magnesium and requires less energy to ionise since it is a member of the first group.
• This is the reason for reaction.

Hence, there will be a reaction when there is nitric acid in the beaker.
