Question
A copper strip and a zinc strip are placed in two separate beakers each containing 0.05M silver nitrate. More silver formed in the reaction of zinc and silver nitrate than in the reaction of copper and silver nitrate after the same number of minutes passed as a result of which factor?Multiple choice question.presence of a catalystthe concentration of the solutionthe nature of the reactantstemperature
Solution
The answer is "the nature of the reactants". This is because the reactivity of metals differs. Zinc is more reactive than copper, so it will replace silver in the silver nitrate solution more readily, leading to the formation of more silver.
