Question
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?

Solution
- The arrangement of metals in the increasing or decreasing order of reactivity is called the reactivity series of metals.
- Iron nails react with silver nitrate solution to form ferrous nitrate and silver. Silver nitrate solution is colourless while the colour of ferrous nitrate solution is brown. Hence, the solution will turn brown.
- When an iron metal reacts with silver nitrate solution, a displacement reaction occurs.
- Zinc rod reacts with silver nitrate solution to form zinc nitrate and silver.
