Question 13

The order of reactivity of iron, lead, and zinc can be determined by the displacement reactions between these metals and solutions of their salts.

You are provided with:

  • samples of the three metals (iron, lead, and zinc)
  • solutions of iron(II) nitrate, lead(II) nitrate, and zinc nitrate.

Describe the experiments that can be done to determine the order of reactivity of these metals by displacement reactions.
