Question

Acids are sourced of hydrogen ions. A metal is convidered more active than hydrogen. If it will react with acids. Rewrite the activity series of the metals to include hydrogen?

Answer 1

Here is the one I use...

Explanation:

My list of reactivity series is:

`ulbb(color(white)(l)"Reactivity series"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"K"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Na"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Li"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Ba"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Ca"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Mg"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Al"`
`color(white)(mmmml)color(red)"C"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Zn"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Fe"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Ni"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Sn"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Pb"`
`color(white)(mmmml)color(red)"H"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Cu"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Hg"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Ag"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Au"`
`color(white)(mmmml)"Pt"color(white)(mmmmmmmml) uparrowbb"Increasing reactivity"`

Elements coloured red are non-metals that are useful when looking at the series.
