How do metals react with salt solutions according to the reactivity series?

1

Metals react with salt solutions to form oxides

2

Metals react with salt solutions to form hydroxides

3

Metals react with salt solutions to displace less reactive metals

4

Metals do not react with salt solutions

Answer and Solution

Answer

C. Metals react with salt solutions to displace less reactive metals

Solution:

In a salt solution, a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. This displacement reaction is based on the reactivity series of metals, where more reactive metals can replace less reactive metals in a compound.
