Sample pieces of five metals A, B, C, D and E were added to the tabulated solutions separately. The results observed are shown in the table: Metal      A No Change No Change No Change Coating on metal No Change B Grey Deposit on metal Brown Coating on metal No Change Coating on metal No Change C No Change No Change No Change No Change No Change D No Change ---------- No Change Coating on metal No Change E ----------- Brown coating New coating New coating No Change Based on the observations recorded in the table, answer the following: (1) Which is the most reactive metal? (2) Which is the least reactive metal? (3) What would be observed if metal D were added to a solution of copper (II) sulphate? (4) What would be observed if metal E were added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate? (5) Arrange the metals A, B, C, D and E in decreasing order to their reactivity?

(1) Metal E is most reactive because it displaces zinc from ZnSO4 solution.
(2) Metal C is the least reactive since it has not displaced any of the metals from their respective salt solutions.
(3) Metal D is more reactive than Ag and less reactive than Fe. It can displace Cu from CuSO4 solution.
(4) Since metal E has displaced Zn from ZnSO4 solution, it is more reactive than Zinc. It is therefore expected to be more reactive than iron as well because iron is placed below zinc in the reactive series. Therefore, metal E displaces Fe from FeSO4 solution. A grey /black coating of iron will be deposited on the metal E.
(5) Decreasing order of reactivity E>B>D>A>C
