Read the following passage and answer the questions.
According to the reactivity series, zinc is more reactive than iron, iron is more reactive than silver. During study of this, a student dipped the iron nails in silver nitrate solution.
- What is reactivity series?
- What will happen when iron nails are dipped in silver nitrate solution?
- Which type of reaction happens when iron metal reacts with silver nitrate solution?
- What will happen if a zinc rod is used instead of iron nail?
Assertion (A): The extraction of metals from their sulphide ores cannot take place without roasting the ore.
Reason (R): Roasting converts sulphide ores directly into metals.
