Similar to the Types of Reactions Lab, you have been tasked with assembling a reactivity series using data from reactions setup on Planet X.  In some cases nitrate salts and hydrochloric acid were used.  Use the results below to determine the relative activities of the two elements involved in each reaction and then place the elements in an activity series in order of decreasing activity. 

 

most reactive >> least reactive

 

Reaction:

Balanced equation:

1

Bz(s) + Sm(NO3)2(aq) --> Bz(NO3)2(aq) + Sm(s)

2 Sm(s) + HCl(aq) --> H2(g) + SmCl2(aq)
3

Zx(s) + Sm(NO3)2(aq) --> NR

4

Zx(s) + HCl(aq) --> NR

 

 

Sm > H2 > Zx > Bz

Zx > H2 > Sm > Bz 

Bz > Zx > H2 > Sm

Bz > H2 > Sm > Zx

Bz > Sm > H2 > Zx
