Reactivity series — practice question

The equation for how metal M reacts with aqueous zinc sulfate is shown below. $\text{M(s)} + \text{ZnSO}_4\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{MSO}_4\text{(aq)} + \text{Zn(s)}$ Which statement gives the reason that metal M reacts with aqueous zinc sulfate?

  • AZinc is less reactive than M because M is able to accept electrons from zinc ions.
  • BZinc is a more powerful reducing agent than M.
  • CZinc is more reactive than M because it can lose electrons more easily than M.
  • DZinc ions can remove electrons from M.
