Question : 29 of 60
Marks: +1, -0
The pair(s) which will show displacement reaction is/are
(i) NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} solution and copper metal
(ii) AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3 solution and copper metal
(iii) Al2(SO4)3\mathrm{Al}_2(\mathrm{SO}_4)_3 solution and magnesium metal
(iv) ZnSO4\mathrm{ZnSO}_4 solution and iron metal
Solution:  
Metal above in activity series are more reactive and can displace the less reactive metal.
(i) NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} solution and copper metal
Na\mathrm{Na} is more reactive than Cu\mathrm{Cu}, thus it will not give displacement reaction.
(ii) AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3 solution and copper metal.
Ag\mathrm{Ag} can be replaced by Cu\mathrm{Cu} as it is above silver in the reactivity series. Therefore, this pair will give displacement reaction.
(iii) Al2(SO4)3\mathrm{Al}_2(\mathrm{SO}_4)_3 solution and magnesium metal. Magnesium is more reactive than aluminium hence displacement reaction will occur and Magnesium sulphate is formed.
(iv) ZnSO4\mathrm{ZnSO}_4 solution and iron metal
The displacement reaction does not occur because iron metal is less reactive than zinc metal. So, a less reactive iron metal cannot displace a more reactive zinc metal from zinc sulphate solution.
