Explain the following fact…
this problem is great because we get to start understanding the reactivity of metals. And in this reaction, we actually or pardon me in this problem, we actually have a reaction that we can see. So what we're asked is what's gonna happen if we combine zinc nitrate with a solid iron sample? Would we see an observable difference? Is there going to be a reaction? Is it going to be violent? What would we see? So this comes back into the discussion of oxidation and activity. Siri's what we know is iron is a less reactive metal than zinc. And if you wanted to, you can calculate the oxidation for solid iron and zinc in this Polly atomic ion. But what we see because iron is less reactive iron could not be oxidized by zinc nitrate. So this means that because of that lack of oxidation, we wouldn't see any observable difference on our iron sample or are iron iron strip. So I hope that this helped you understand a little bit about how to determine the products or the reactivity of a metal reaction
