Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given
Concept introduction:
Precipitation reaction:
If precipitate is formed, when the two solutions mixed together is called precipitation reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given chemical reaction has to be explained in the terms of oxidation activity series.

(c)
Interpretation:
The given chemical reaction has to be explained in the terms of oxidation activity series.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation activity series:
- The arrangement of elements to decreasing order of oxidation from top to bottom is known as oxidation activity series.
- In the activity series the metals which are all present above the hydrogen is easy to oxidize and the metals present below the hydrogen are all not easily react with oxygen.
- Alkali metals are present above Hydrogen in activity series so they easily react with water and these reactions occurs vigorously.
