Question
In a solution of lead acetate, a strip of metal M was dipped. After some time, lead from the solution was deposited on the metal strip. Which metal is more reactive, M or lead?
Advertisements
Solution
The metal M is more reactive than lead because it displaces lead from a lead acetate solution, a reaction that can occur only with an element more reactive than lead.
