What is the activity series in chemistry?

Back

The activity series is a list of metals ranked by their reactivity. More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from compounds.

Back

No, gold is less reactive than hydrogen and does not react with hydrochloric acid.

What does it mean for a substance to be soluble?

Back

A substance is soluble if it can dissolve in a solvent, forming a homogeneous solution. Example: Sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) is soluble in water.

What does it mean for a substance to be insoluble?

Back

A substance is insoluble if it does not dissolve in a solvent. Example: Silver chloride (AgCl) is insoluble in water.
