(i) Zinc is placed above iron in the reactivity series.It has therefore. Reduced `Fe^(2+)` ions to Fe and it has been oxidised
(ii) `Zn(s)+Fe^(2+)(aq)rarrZn^(2+)(aq)+Fe(s)`
(iii)We should be very careful while selectingh container for stroing certain chemicals. Only those metals should be used for making the vessels or container s which are not involved in any type of chemical reactions.

Radha is a student of class X in a city school. One day Radha was doing practicals in the science laboratory of her school. Just then her science teacher, Mrs, Chopra, came to the laboratory with a beaker of a coourless solution. She told Radha that the colourless solution contains the nitrate of a metal which is usually alloyed with 24 carat gold to make 22 carat gold for ornaments. Mrs. Chopra asked Radha to device a method to obtain the dissolved metal from the solution in the solid form. Radha started thining about it. After some time Radha took a certain wire from the laboratory, cleaned it and placed it in the colourless solution in the beaker. She allowed this wire to remain immersed in the solution for a considerable time. Radha noticed a gradual change in the colour of solution in the beaker and saw a thick deposit of a substance on the wire kept in the solution. Radha was happy that she had done her job well. (a) Name the metal whose nitrate solutioin you think is given in the bearker? Why do you think so? (b) What was the nature of wire placed by Radha in the given solution? Why was this particular wire used? (c) What change in the colour of solution was obsered by Radha in the beaker and why? (d) Which substance was deposited on the wire placed in the solution? (e) Which chemical reaction is utilised by Radha in this process? Why does this reaction occur? (f) What values are displayed by Radha in this episode?
Piyush is a student of class 10. His teacher was teaching the type of chemical reactions in the class. Piyush was aksed to carry out the reaction of electrolysis of water in the laboratory. Piyush set up the complete apparatus for the electrolysis of water. He took pure water (distilled water) to carry out this reaction. When Piyush passed electric current through this water for a considerable time even then no chemical reaction took place. Piyush told this problem to his classmate Arjun. Arjun thought over the problem and asked Piyush to add a little of a certain substance into pure water before passing electric current through it. When electric current was passed thorugh water after adding a little of this substance then a chemical reaction took place to form two gases X and Y . The volume of gas X collected over one of the electrodes was 8mL whreas the volume of gas Y collected over the other electrode was 16mL (a) Why no chemical reaction took place when electric current was passed thorugh pure water? (b) What substance was added in little quantity to pure water before passing electric current again? (c) How did the addition of little of this substance help in the electrolysis of water? (d) What is gas X ? Over which electrode is it collected? (e) What is gas Y ? Over which electrode is it collected? (f) What type of chemical reaction is demonstrated by this experiment ? Why? (g) What values are displayed by Arjun in this episode?
