Zinc Replacement Reactions Quiz

What materials are necessary to determine if zinc will replace another metal in a solution?

• Periodic table, solubility chart, pH scale

• Polyatomic ion chart, thermometer, solubility chart

• Activity series chart, pH scale, thermometer

• Periodic table, activity series chart, polyatomic ion chart

What is the key rule when using an activity series chart to predict reactions?

• An ion can only replace ions of the same reactivity

• An ion can replace any other ion regardless of reactivity

• An ion can replace another ion with a higher reactivity

• An ion cannot replace another ion with a higher reactivity

Which of the following ions will zinc replace in a solution?

• Hydrogen +

• Iron 3+

• All of the above

• Manganese 2+

What is the result when zinc is added to a solution of iron(III) nitrate?

• Hydrogen gas is released

• Zinc replaces manganese

• Zinc nitrate forms and iron solid is produced

• No reaction occurs

What happens when zinc is added to nitric acid?

• Zinc replaces manganese
