Q.5. Samples of four metals A, B, C and D were taken and added to the
following solution one by one. The results obtained have been tabulated
as follows.
Metal | Iron (II) sulphate | Copper (II) sulphate | Zinc sulphate | Silver nitrate |
A | No reaction | Displacement | ||
B | Displacement | No reaction | ||
C | No reaction | No reaction | No reaction | Displacement |
D | No reaction | No reaction | No reaction | No reaction |
Use the Table above to answer the following questions about metals
A, B, C and D.
(ii) What would you observe if B is added to a solution of Copper(II)
sulphate?
As we have seen part (a) that element A can displace copper from its solution. Also, B is more reactive than element A.
So element B will also displace copper from copper sulphate solution.
