Metal Reactivity Series

When iron is heated with lead oxide, iron oxide and a shiny ball of lead are formed. From this we can deduce that ...

• lead is less reactive than iron

• iron is more reactive than oxygen

• iron is less reactive than lead

• lead is more reactive than iron

This metal (X) displaces copper from copper sulphate solution but does not displace zinc from zinc sulphate. From this we can tell that the order of reactivity (most reactive first) is

• zinc; copper; X

• zinc; X ; copper

• copper ; X ; zinc

• X; zinc;copper;

If the metal filling is zinc, what is the end product of reaction

• zinc metal

• zinc oxide

• zinc carbonate

• zinc manganate

Answer explanation

heating up potassium manganate will produce oxygen. That oxygen will react with metal and combine together to be zinc oxide.

Which of the following will react faster when heated

• Aluminium

• Ferum

• Zinc

• Lead

Answer explanation

you will need to memorise the reactivity series of metal. the higher the metal in the series, the more reactive the metal
