You are given a solution of AgNO3. Which of the following do you think cannot displace Ag from the AgNO3 solution?
You are given a solution of AgNO3. Which of the following do you think cannot displace Ag from the AgNO3 solution?

(a) Magnesium

(b) Zinc

(c) Gold

(d) Copper

Solution:

Option (c) is the answer. According to the reactivity series, magnesium, zinc, and copper seem to be the most reactive metals compared to silver, while gold is the least reactive. As a result, gold (Au) is the only metal capable of removing silver (Ag) from a silver nitrate solution.
