The arrangement of metals in increasing order of electropositivity is:
Silver, M, L.
Electropositivity increases
In Experiment 1, L able to displace silver from silver nitrate solution
L is higher than silver in the ECS.
In Experiment 2, M displaces silver from silver nitrate solution
Thus, M is higher than silver in the ECS.
In Experiment 3, no change occurs.
M cannot displace L from L nitrate solution.
M is located below L in the ECS.
Max = 6m
Grey deposit is silver,
light blue solution is copper (II) nitrate.
Metal X is silver/ copper/ lead/ stanum.
Iron is more electropositive than silver/ copper/ lead/stanum.
The iron nail undergoes oxidation by releasing 2 electrons forms iron (II) ions, Fe 2+.
The presence of iron (II) ions, Fe2+ is detected by potassium hexacyanoferrate (III)
with the formation of dark blue colouration.
Metal Y is magnesium/ aluminium/ zinc.
Magnesium/ aluminium/ zinc is more electropositive than iron, so magnesium
undergoes oxidation by releasing 2 electrons forms magnesium ions, Mg 2+.

Oxidation number of aluminium is +3
Oxidation number of copper is +1
Al2O3- aluminium oxide
Cu2O copper (I) oxide
Aluminium is a metal in Group 13. No need to mention its oxidation number in its
name.
Copper is a transition element, the oxidation number of copper +1 should be mention
in its name by using a roman numeral copper (I).
*Tips to answer U-tube qstn:
1st - identify oxidizing agent, acts as a +ve terminal.
2nd- draw the flow of electron, from ve to +ve terminal.
3rd - determine redox reaction, write equations and state the observations.
Oxidising agent is acidified potassium manganate (VII) solution
Half equation at the negative terminal:
Fe2+ Fe3+ + eOxidation occurs.
Half equation at the positive terminal:
MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- Mn2+ + 4H2O
*[correct formula + balance equation]
Reduction occurs
Graphite electrode dipped in iron (II) sulphate solution acts as a negative terminal.
Iron (II) sulphate undergoes oxidation,
Iron (II) ions, Fe2+ releases 1 electron form iron (III) ions, Fe3+.
Green solution turns brown.
Iron (II) sulphate/ Iron (II) ion is a reducing agent.
Graphite electrode dipped in acidified potassium manganate (VII) solution is the
positive terminal.
Manganate (VII) ions undergo reduction.
Manganate (VII) ions receive 5 electrons form mangan (II) ions, Mn 2+.
Purple solution turns colourless.
Manganate (VII) ions act as an oxidising agent.

The neutralisation between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid forms sodium
chloride and water
Oxidation number of sodium, Na (in NaCl and in HCl) remains unchanged, +1.
The oxidation number of H in (HCl and H2O) is +1, also does not changed.
Therefore, the neutralisation is not a redox reaction as the oxidation number of the
substances involved does not change
AgNO3 + NaCl - AgCl + NaNO3

The reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride produces silver chloride and
sodium nitrate.
The oxidation number of silver in both silver nitrate and silver chloride does not
change, +1.
The oxidation number of sodium is also the same, +1 in both sodium chloride and
sodium nitrate.
Thus, precipitation is not a redox reaction.
Oxidation occurs when a reacting substance releases electrons.
Reduction occurs whe a reacting substance receives electrons.
*Based on the equation, it shows that the displacement occurs. Metal M is more e+ve
than copper.
Metal M is magnesium/ zinc/ stanum/ lead.
Based on the information;
Metal M (magnesium/ zinc/ stanum/ lead) displaces copper from copper to sulphate
solution.
Metal M is located higher than copper in Electrochemical Series.
Metal M is a reducing agent, while copper (II) sulphate is an oxidising agent.
Magnesium undergoes oxidation,
as its oxidation number increases from 0 to +2.
Copper (II) ions undergo reduction,
As its oxidation number decreases from +2 to 0.

Carbon is located above X in Reactivity Series of Metals. Carbon able to remove
oxygen from X oxide to form carbon dioxide and X

2XO+ C 2X + CO2

Carbon is located below Y in Reactivity Series of Metal. So that carbon cannot

remove oxygen from Y oxide.
Thus, it is proved that the position of carbon is above metal X and below metal

Y in the Reactivity Series of metal.
