Interpretation: The results observed on pairing iron (III) 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 which cation will replace the other from its aqueous solution. A less reactive metal is displaced by more reactive metal.
Answer to Problem 4E
Zinc is more reactive in comparison to iron and thus, it displaces the iron from
Explanation of Solution
In order to determine whether any reaction will takes place or not on pairing iron (III) nitrate,
On comparing both the metals on reactivity series, the iron is placed below the zinc that means zinc is more reactive than iron and thus, it displaces the iron from
