Lesson: Chapter 16 — Changes of Matter

16.4. The activity series 4 of 6

Question 4

Which metals can displace hydrogen from dilute acids?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Only metals above hydrogen. So Mg, Al, Zn and Fe can do it.

Copper (Cu) lies below hydrogen, so it cannot react with dilute HCl — which is exactly the observation from activity 16.6.
