Question

Write an activity to show that the copper is less reactive than magnesium

Answer 1

Answer:

Take two Beakers namely A and B. Pour iron sulphate solution in both the beakers. Now,dip copper in beaker A and dip magnesium in beaker B. It would be seen that :- 1) There is no change in Beaker A.

2) MgSo4 + Fe are formed. This means that Magnesium is more reactive than iron and copper is less reactive than iron. Hence,Magnesium is more reactive than copper. Mg>Fe>Cu, So, Mg>Cu
