Question

State whether the following reaction is True or False.
Statement: Metal A + Salt solution of Metal B $\to$ Salt solution of Metal A + Metal B
(Assume Metal A is higher in the reactivity series than B).

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In a reaction between a metal and the salt solution of another metal, the more reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in solution or molten form. In the above reaction, Metal A is more reactive than Metal B.
