What happens when
iron nail is placed in silver nitrate solution?
(ii)iron strip is dipped in zinc sulphate solution?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Iron is more reactive than silver
`Fe(s)+2AgNO_3(aq) to Fe(NO_3)_2(aq)+2Ag(s)`
(ii)Iron is below zinc in the reactivity series, therefore iron cannot displace zinc from zinc sulphate solution. No reaction takes place.
