Question

Suppose you wanted to cause Pb2+ ions to come out of solution as solid Pb. Which metal(s) could you use to accomplish this? Au Zn Ca Ni Ag AlFe

Answer 1

Answer:

Ca, Zn, Ni, Al, Fe

Explanation:

The activity series is an arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivity.

Metals that are high up in the activity series are very reactive. They displace metals that are lower in the activity series from an aqueous solution of their salts.

The metals; Ca, Zn, Ni, Al, Fe are all above Pb in the activity series hence they will cause Pb2+ ions to come out of solution as solid Pb.
