Step 1

From the given activity series: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Pb > H2 > Cu > Ag > Au > Pt, we see that silver (Ag) is below sodium (Na) in the series. This means that sodium is more reactive than silver. Therefore, a reaction would occur where sodium would displace Show more…

00:01 Hello guys, so in this question we have been given the series that is potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, lead, h2, copper, silver and gold and platinum.

00:27 So this is the series given where these are tested by experimentation and ranked according to their relative activities.

00:36 So it has been asked that if we took a piece of silver metal and placed it in a solution of sodium nitrate, what will happen if it will react or not? so let's write the first part of this question that is if we take ag, the reaction goes like ag plus sodium nitrate that is nan -o -3.

00:54 So it has been asked that if ag -no3 is formed or not.

01:02 So in this case, the answer for this is that reaction will not occur.

01:08 So the reaction will not occur in this case.

01:15 This is because the a .g, that is, the silver is present in the far away in this series of this elements.

01:22 And this also tells that silver is less reactive than sodium element.

01:28 So the next question is that if sodium element is added in silver nitrate solution, what will happen if the an ano3, that is sodium nitrate, will be formed or not? so in this case what happens is the reaction is going to occur.

01:46 So reaction is feasible.

01:51 And also this silver will be precipitated in the v curve.

01:57 This is because the sodium is very reactive than silver and it will replace the silver from silver nitrate solution.

02:05 Now in next question, it has been asked to write the balance equation for the reaction of aluminum metal, that is al, and with hcl, that is hydrochloric acid...
