Reactivity series — practice question

The order of reactivity can be worked out from displacement reactions.
(a(i))[3]

Complete Table 3.1 and arrange the four metals in order of reactivity, with the most reactive first.

(a(ii))[1]

Suggest why the metal nitrates and not the metal sulfates of these four metals are used as the aqueous solutions.

(a(iii))[2]

Write the symbol equation for the reaction of zinc with silver nitrate.

(b(i))[2]

Describe the colour change observed in the test-tube.

(b(ii))[3]
