Question
Give reason for the following:
Copper does not displace hydrogen from dilute hydrochloric acid, but zinc does.

Solution
Copper lies below [H] in activity series of metals and cannot displace hydrogen from acid.
Zn lies above [H] in reactivity series of metals and being more reactive can displace hydrogen from dil. acids.
