Question

Arrange the following metals in the order in which they displace each other from the solution of their salts. $\mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{Mg}$, and $\mathrm{Zn}$.,

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

This is based upon the relative positions of these metals in the activity series. The metal placed lower in the series can displace the metals occupying a higher position present as its salt. Based upon this, the correct order is: $\mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{Ag}$.
