What does salt solution of the metal means?
Salt solution of metal means solution of any salt of metals like splution of NaCl, MgCl2, NaBr in water
If you put one end of metal in the hot solution you can feel the heat at the other end. What does that mean? What is this property of metals?
A metal X forms a water soluble salt XNO3. When an aqueous solution of XNO3 is added to common salt solution, then a white precipitate fo compound Y is formed along with sodium nitrate solution. Metal X is said to be the best conductor of electricity and it does not evolve hydrogen when put in dilute hydrohloric acid.
(a) What is metal X ?
(b) What is salt XNO3 ?
(c) Name the compound Y.
(d) Write the chemical equation of the reaction which takes place on reacting XNO3 solution an common salt solution giving the physical states of all the reactants and products.
(e) What type of chemical reaction is illustrated by the above equation ?
Metal A + Salt solution of Metal B → Salt solution of Metal A + Metal B (Assume Metal A is higher in the reactivity series than B).
