The Reactivity Series

Order common metals in the reactivity series and explain how a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one; describe how carbon is used to extract metals from their oxides in industry

A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

A strip of zinc metal is placed in a solution of copper(II) sulfate. Which of the following best describes what will happen?

Question 2 of 3

Archaeologists find ancient gold jewelry, iron tools made by early blacksmiths, and modern aluminium cans. Which explanation correctly links the reactivity series to why each metal was obtained the way it was historically?

Question 3 of 3

A student first puts a strip of potassium metal into a solution of iron(II) sulfate. After the reaction, the solution (now containing potassium sulfate and solid iron) is used to immerse a strip of iron in a solution of silver nitrate. Which solid metal will finally be seen as a deposit on the iron strip?
