Solution

The correct option is B
No reaction takes place.

Silver is less reactive than iron so it can not displace iron from its solution. Hence, no reaction will take place.

Q. A student was given two metal strips X and Y alongwith colourless silver nitrate solution to perform two separate displacement reactions. When the student placed metal strip X in silver nitrate solution for a considerable time, he observed that the solution turned blue and a coating of silver metal was formed on the strip. And when the student immersed metal strip Y in silver nitrate solution for an equal time, he observed that the solution turned light green with the formation of a coating of silver metal on the strip. The correct conclusion of the student about the identity of metals X and Y is :
(1) X is copper and Y is magnesium
(2) X is zinc and Y is copper
(3) X is iron and Y is copper
(4) X is copper and Y is iron
