The following metals are listed in order of reactivity (most reactive first)sodium > magnesium > zinc > coppera) Describe what each metal does when(i) heated in air(ii) added to dilute hydrochloric acidb) Which of the four metals would be suitable for making saucepans? Describewhy the others are not.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

(i): When it is heated in air, it combines with oxygen and gets rusted.

(ii): When added to dilute hydrochloric acid, the chloric ion will form an ionic bond with the metal and release hydrogen. However, not all metals would do since copper with hydrochloric acid has no reactions.

Therefore copper would be the most suitable for making saucepans.
