Question

A metal X can replace another metal Y from its metal salts. Is X above or below Y in the reactivity series?

Open in App

Solution

When metal X replaces metal Y from its respective salts, X is above in the reactivity series.

The reactivity power of X is stronger than Y which ensures this replacement.

If it would be below than Y, no reaction would take place as it would not displace Y.
