Solution
Step-1 : Salt solutions of metal P,Q and R were taken
Step-2 : Since, according to question P < Q < R
Since R is more reactive than Q and P so displacement reaction will take place.
(I) R + salt of Q → salts of R + Q
(s) (aq) (aq) (s)
R + salt of P → salts of R + P
(s) (aq) (aq) (s)
(II) Q + salt of R → No reaction
(s) (aq)
Q + salt of P→ salts of Q + P
(s) (aq) (aq) (s)
(III) P + salt of R → No reaction
(s) (aq)
P + salt of Q → No reaction
(s) (aq)
