Activity Series of Metals

Activity Series of Metals Worksheet

Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Refer to your knowledge of the activity series of metals to predict reaction outcomes.

1. Which of the following metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

2. According to the activity series, which metal is the most reactive?

3. A more reactive metal will   a less reactive metal from its compound.

4. The activity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing  .

5. Metals above hydrogen in the activity series can react with acids to produce   gas.

6. Copper will displace silver from silver nitrate solution.

7. A less reactive metal can displace a more reactive metal from its salt solution.

8. Explain why iron rusts faster than aluminum, even though both are reactive metals.

9. Predict whether a reaction will occur when a piece of magnesium is placed in a solution of copper(II) sulfate. If a reaction occurs, write the balanced chemical equation.

Match the metal with its typical reactivity based on the activity series.
