Question

In a displacement reaction, a reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its salt solution.

• A. less
• B. more
• C. non

Answer 1

The correct option is B more

In a displacement reaction, the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its salt solution.

For example:
$\text{Zn(s)}+2\text{HCl(l)}\to {\text{ZnCl}}_2\text{(aq)}+{\text{H}}_2\text{(g)}$

Here, zinc being more reactive than hydrogen, displaces it from hydrochloric acid.
