Question

Copper solutions are stored in iron vessels.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

A series in which metals are arranged in the decreasing order of their reactivity is called reactivity series. The arrangement of metals as per reactivity series is: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Ni > Sn > Pb > H > Cu > Ag > Au. Copper is less reactive than the iron. Therefore, copper solutions cannot be stored in iron vessels because iron being more reactive than copper will displace it.
