what would you expect to happen (chemically) if a piece of zinc metal were placed in a solution of magnesium nitrate?

Sagot :

Answer:

no reaction will occur

Explanation:

Reaction

Zn + Mg(NO₃)₂ ≠ no reaction

we can see the reactivity of the elements from the voltaic series

Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe²⁺-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Fe³⁺-Ag-Pt-Au

The more to the left, the metal is more reactive

Mg is more reactive than Zn, so that Zn cannot displace Mg for a single displacement reaction to occur
