Why is there no reaction seen when using copper metal with the solution of lead nitrate and zinc sulphate?
Chemistry
ScanSolve AI Answer
Copper metal does not react with lead nitrate and zinc sulfate solutions because copper is less reactive than both lead and zinc. A metal can only displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Since copper is lower in the reactivity series than lead and zinc, it cannot displace them from their respective salt solutions.
