Interpretation: The results observed on pairing zinc nitrate,
Concept Introduction: In order to determine the products formed due to single displacement reaction a series of metals are arranged in reactivity order from highest to lowest. This reactivity series helps in predicting the which cation will replace the other from its aqueous solution. A less reactive metal is displaced by more reactive metal.
Answer to Problem 3E
Iron is less reactive in comparison to zinc and thus, it is unable to displace the zinc and no reaction occurs.
Explanation of Solution
In order to determine whether any reaction will takes place or not on pairing zinc nitrate,
On comparing both the metals on reactivity series, the iron is placed below the zinc that means iron is less reactive in comparison to zinc and thus, it is unable to displace the zinc and no reaction occurs.
