Question

Which of the following metals will precipitate copper from copper sulfate solution ?

• A. $Hg$
• B. $Sn$
• C. $Au$
• D. $Pt$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Sn$

More reactive metal can displace the metal atom from its salt solution solution.

According to the given metal reactivity series of mettalic elements Stannum ($Sn$) is more reactive than the given metals to diplace $Cu$ from copper sulfate ($CuS{O}_4$).

Hence option B is correct_
