Question

State the reactions, if any of the following metals react with lead nitrate solution. In case a reaction
takes place, support it by a chemical equation.
1) Silver (ii) Zinc, (iii) Copper, and (iv) Iron.​

Answer 1

Answer:

silver no reaction zinc reaction take place

Answer 2

State the reactions, if any of the following metals react with lead nitrate solution. In case a reaction  takes place, support it by a chemical equation.

1) Silver (ii) Zinc, (iii) Copper, and (iv) Iron.​

Explanation:

Displacement reaction

• The reaction in which the most reactive element displaces the less reactive from its compound .
• This reaction is usually a reaction in which most reactive metal displaces less reactive from its compound .
• This reaction takes place on the basis of reactivity of elements .
• For this we consider reactivity series that is :

K

Na

Ca

Mg

Al

Zn

Fe

Sn

Pb

H

Cu

Hg

Ag

Au

Pt

For example : Zn + CuSO₄---> ZnSO₄ + Cu

In the given question , only that element will react with lead nitrate that will be more reactive than lead .

Out of the given , zinc will react as it is more reactive and the reaction will take place as shown :

Zn + Pb(NO₃)₂---> ZnO +Pb
