Question

What is reactivity series ?? How do they predicting the relative activities of various metals

Answer 1

The arrangement of metals in the vertical column in the order of decreasing reactivity is called reactivity series or activity series.

A metal placed above hydrogen in the activity series will displace hydrogen from water or acids.

A metal placed at the top of the activity series would displace metal below it. Thus, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution

If answer is helpful for you then please make me brainlist

Answer 2

Answer:

1 ) .Reactivity series :

It is series of decreasing order of metals' reactivity. Hydrogen is place in middle of series. Above hydrogen metals are more reactive in nature below are less. Metal which is more reactive it displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution.

2 ) . Some chemical method for extraction :

a ) . In order to obtaining a metal from its  oxides for metals in the high of the reactivity series their oxides are reduced to metals by the process of electrolysis

For instance :

Electrolysis of sodium chloride :

Na⁺ + e⁻  ⇒ Na   [ At cathode ]

2 Cl⁻ ⇒ Cl₂ + 2 e⁻   [ At anode ]

b ) . In order to obtaining a metal from its  oxides for metals in the middle of the reactivity series then metals towards oxides of such metals can be reduced with coke (carbon) which acts as a reducing agent.

For instance :

2 Fe₂O₃ + 3 C  ⇒ 4 Fe + 3 CO₂.

c ). In order to obtaining a metal from its  oxides for metals in the least reactive roasting should be done.
