Question

zn is less reactive than mg according to the activity series. zn + mg(no₃)₂ → will this single replacement reaction occur? there is not enough information to decide if the reaction will occur. the reaction will not occur based on the activity series. the reaction will occur based on the activity series.

Explanation:

In a single - replacement reaction, a more reactive element can replace a less reactive element in a compound. Here, Zn is less reactive than Mg. So, Zn cannot replace Mg in \(Mg(NO_3)_2\).

Answer:

The reaction will not occur based on the activity series.
