Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction between a metal and a metal salt solution depends on the reactivity series. $A$ metal can displace another metal from its salt solution only if it is more reactive than the metal present in the salt.$Fe$,$Zn$,and $Mg$ are all more reactive than $Cu$ and will displace $Cu$ from $CuSO_4$ solution.$Hg$ (mercury) is less reactive than $Cu$ and is placed below $Cu$ in the electrochemical reactivity series. Therefore,$Hg$ cannot displace $Cu$ from $CuSO_4$ solution.$CuSO_4 + Hg 	o 	ext{No reaction}$

Which of the following metals will not react with a solution of $CuSO_4$?
