Topical Questions

These questions are keyed to the major topics in the chapter. Usually a question that is answered at the back of this book is paired with a similar one that is not.

(a) In what groups of the periodic table are the most reactive metals found? Where do we find the least reactive metals?

(b) Silver (Ag) does not react with 1-M HCl solution. Will Ag react with a solution of aluminum nitrate, Al(NO3)3? If so, write a chemical equation for the reaction.

(c) Lead (Pb) will react very slowly with 1-M HCl solution. Aluminum will react with lead(II) sulfate solution, PbSO4. Will Pb react with an AgNO3 solution? If so, write a chemical equation for the reaction.

(d) On the basis of the information obtained in answering parts (a), (b), and (c), arrange Ag, Al, and Pb in decreasing order of reactivity.
