The position of some metals in the electrochemical series in decreasing electropositive character is given as

\mathrm{Mg} > Al > Zn > Cu > Ag

. What will happen, if a copper spoon is used to stir a solution of aluminium nitrate?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

There is no reaction

Option D (There is no reaction) is correct because copper is below aluminum in the electrochemical series, meaning it cannot displace aluminum from its solution.
