Which statement about a displacement reaction is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution.
Metals have different reactivities. A more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. For example, zinc displaces copper from copper sulfate solution. In contrast, copper cannot displace zinc from zinc sulfate solution because copper is less reactive than zinc.
