Question

How would you show that iron is chemically more reactive than copper?

✓

Answer

A reaction takes place and copper is left by itself. Now, we can say that iron has displaced copper from copper sulphate. In such a reaction, the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal. Thus, the above activity shows that iron is more reactive than copper.
