Question

With the help of experiment show the copper is more reactive than silver?

Answer 1

The more reactive element can displace the less reactive element from its solution.
take two test tubes in  test tube -1 take silver Sulphate solution(white in color) & in test tube-2  take copper Sulphate solution (blue in color). Add copper turnings to test tube -1 and add silver piece to test tube -2 keep the test tubes undisturbed for 15 minutes. After sometime observe the color changes in both test tubes. The color in test tube – 1 changed from white to blue and there is no color change in test tube-2.this indicates in test tube-1 copper displaces silver from its silver Sulphate solution forms copper Sulphate. And in test tube- 2 no displacement reaction takes place. Hence from this experiment we are proving that copper is more reactive than silver.
