Solution

The correct option is B False
We cannot store silver nitrate, ${A g N O}_{3}$ solution in a metal container because according to reactivity series most of the metals are more reactive than silver. Thus, the metal will displace silver from the ${A g N O}_{3}$ solution forming the corresponding metal nitrate solution.
The reaction is:

$x A g N O ₃ + M \to M (N O ₃) ₓ + x A g$

where, $M$ = metal atom and $x$ = its valency.
