Question

Not sure how I'm supposed to use this information to construct an activity series?

Based upon the following statements, construct an activity series for Pb, Zn, K, and Ag.

Zinc will react with Pb2+ ions to form lead metal and Zn2+, but Pb2+ ions will not react with silver metal.

Both zinc metal and lead metal will react with HCl to form hydrogen gas. Lead reacts slower. Silver will not react with HCl.

Potassium reacts violently with cold water, but the other metals do not react with cold water.

(List from least to greatest)

________< ___________<__________<______________

Explanation / Answer

Statement 1: Pb+2 is easier to reduce itself in presence of Zn, this means Pb is more stable, therefore, less reactive

Statement 1: Pb+2 wont react Ag, Pb is less reactive than Ag

Statement 2: Zn and Pb are reactive with HCl, not Ag
