Question

What is activity series? How it helps in extraction of metals?

Answer 1

the arrangement of metal according to there increasing activiti
it helps because it is used to chose correct metal for displacement or for diff methods

Answer 2

Activity series:

• The metal activity series is an empirical method for predicting products in displacement processes and metal reactivity with water and acids in replacement reactions and ore extraction.
• It can be used to anticipate the results of other metal-based reactions.
• The activity series is a graph that lists metals in decreasing order of relative reactivity.
• The metals at the top are more reactive than those at the bottom.
