Solution

Dear Student,
Reactivity series of metals come in the order Cu<Fe<Zn<Mg. So according to this, if metallic oxides of zinc, magnesium and copper were heated with iron metal, then iron metal can displace copper but not zinc and magnesium. The chemical reaction between copper and iron metal is
CuO +Fe $- - - >$ FeO + Cu
