Using this activity chart, which reaction will happen when a piece of copper is placed in a lead nitrate solution. 2Cu + 3Pb(NO3)2 3Cu(NO3) 2 + 2Pb No reaction occurs. 2Cu + 3Pb(NO3)2 2Cu(NO3) 2 + 3Pb 3Cu + 3Pb(NO3)2 3Cu(NO3) 2 + 3Pb The answer cannot be determined from the information given.

Respuesta :

the answer would be B. no reaction occurs

Answer: No reaction occurs.

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.

Copper lies lower in the reactivity series and thus is less reactive than lead. Only a more reactive element is able to displace a less reactive element from its salt solution. As copper is less reactive than lead , it cannot lose electrons and thus cannot displace lead.
