Best Answer

Zinc is most reactive of the three. So if you put a piece of zinc metal to the three solution you will observe, In the Zinc nitrate solution there is no reaction while others have. As zinc is most reactive of three, in will displace the respective metals out of their solution. If the zinc is coated with reddish covering, it is Copper nitrate. If is coated with silvery needles, the solution is Tin nitrate.

Zn + Cu(NO3)2 ----> Cu + Zn(NO3)2

Zn + Sn(NO3)2 ----> Sn + Zn(NO3)2

Zn + Zn(NO3)2 ----> [No reaction]

if presence of nitrate in both the solutions is confirmed then by adding H2S in both the solutions you may differentiate between Al and Zn ions ,zinc forms dirty white ppts while Al does not.

Will be there a reaction if aluminum is dipped into zinc nitrate solution?

Yes, Al is more reactive than Zn, so: 2Al + 3Zn2+ --> 2Al3+ + 3Zn (Nitrate ions are tribuned out of this reaction)

What is the name of the compound AlN3?

Aluminium almost always forms the +3 oxidation state in its compounds, so we do not use a Roman numeral when naming aluminum compounds. The NO3 moiety is the nitrate ion, NO3-. So the name is aluminum nitrate.


the recation between aluminium and magnesium nitrate?

When aluminum and magnesium nitrate are mixed together, they will react to form aluminum nitrate and magnesium. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2 Al + 3 Mg(NO3)2 -> 2 Al(NO3)3 + 3 Mg This is a single replacement reaction, in which the aluminum replaces the magnesium in the magnesium nitrate compound. The reaction is exothermic, meaning that it releases heat. The aluminum nitrate and magnesium produced as products may be further reacted with other chemicals or used as is in various applications.
