If metal A displaces metal B from its salt solution, what is the correct conclusion about metal A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Metal A is more reactive than metal B
In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Therefore, if metal A removes metal B from B’s salt solution, A is more reactive than B. Metals with equal reactivity do not undergo such a displacement reaction.
Frequently asked questions
What is the correct answer to this question?
Metal A is more reactive than metal B
Why is this the correct answer?
In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Therefore, if metal A removes metal B from B’s salt solution, A is more reactive than B. Metals with equal reactivity do not undergo such a displacement reaction.
