Question

More electropositive metal displace ___ from the acidic solution.

Answer 1

1. The activity series is also named as reactivity series.
2. Reactivity is defined as the tendency of a metal to lose electrons.
3. In the activity series of metals, metals are arranged in a column in order of decreasing reactivity.
4. The metal which is more reactive displaces the Hydrogen from the acid solution.
5. Therefore, the metal which are placed above Hydrogen in the reactivity series displaces Hydrogen from its acidic solution.
6. Therefore, more electropositive metal displaces Hydrogen from the acidic solution.
