Question : 29
Total: 60
The pair(s) which will show displacement reaction is/are
(i)NaCl solution and copper metal
(ii)AgNO 3 solution and copper metal
(iii)Al 2 ( SO 4 ) 3 solution and magnesium metal
(iv)ZnSO 4 solution and iron metal
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Solution:
Metal above in activity series are more reactive and can displace the less reactive metal.
(i)NaCl solution and copper metal
Na is more reactive than Cu , thus it will not give displacement reaction.
(ii)AgNO 3 solution and copper metal.
Ag can be replaced by Cu as it is above silver in the reactivity series. Therefore, this pair will give displacement reaction.
(iii)Al 2 ( SO 4 ) 3 solution and magnesium metal. Magnesium is more reactive than aluminium hence displacement reaction will occur and Magnesium sulphate is formed.
(iv)ZnSO 4 solution and iron metal
The displacement reaction does not occur because iron metal is less reactive than zinc metal. So, a less reactive iron metal cannot displace a more reactive zinc metal from zinc sulphate solution.

(iv)
The displacement reaction does not occur because iron metal is less reactive than zinc metal. So, a less reactive iron metal cannot displace a more reactive zinc metal from zinc sulphate solution.
