Which is more reactive iron or zinc?

zinc is more reactive and softer that Iron

there will be no reaction as zinc is more reactive than iron.So iron cannot displace zinc.

Yes, because Zinc is more reactive than Iron. Zinc + Iron sulphate ----> Zinc sulphate + Iron or in equation form- Zn + FeSo4 = ZnSo4 + Fe

zinc since it is more reactive than iron

Yes. Zinc will likely replace iron because it is more reactive.

Ships use blocks of zinc to protect the iron hull of the ship. Zinc is chosen for this purpose because it is more reactive than iron and steel. Any metal more reactive than what it is connected to will corrode instead of the less reactive metal, thus protecting the iron or other metal.

by heating it with a more reactive element; e.g. zinc.

No, zinc is more reactive

It is basically sacrificial corrosion, Since zinc is more reactive than iron, an acid would react with it rather than the iron

Yes, zinc is more reactive than iron. However, when zinc reacts with air, although it does so almost immediately, the zinc oxide that forms in the reaction covers the surface of the zinc, which protects it from reacting further with more air. The oxide covers the zinc like a skin or a coat of paint. Iron is less reactive than zinc, but it still reacts with air. But the iron oxide (the rust) that forms flakes off easily and does not protect the iron much. Where the rusting of iron is a problem, people sometimes will dip the iron in molten zinc. The zinc then forms a skin on the iron, protecting it from the air. It is like when you dip an ice cream into molten chocolate that then forms a skin that covers the ice cream. Once the skin of zinc has formed on the iron the zinc quickly reacts with the air, forming a zinc oxide layer that protects the zinc metal while it protects the iron. Protecting iron in this way with zinc is called galvanising.

aluminum is more reactive than zinc!!

zinc is more reactive and is higher in the reactivity series.

Zinc is more reactive than mercury.

Because Zinc is less reactive.

Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.

sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.

Zinc metal is more reactive than iron metal, so there will be no reaction. if there was a reaction it would be called a displacement reaction.

Sacrificial protection is basically attaching a piece of metal that is more reactive that iron to the object made of iron. This more reactive metal, commonly magnesium or zinc, will corrode in the place of iron. That is, the more reactive metal will feed the iron with electrons each time the iron is oxidised to form iron ions, thus reverting it to iron once again instead of letting it become iron hydroxide (rust). Thus, the more reactive metal is sacrificed for the iron.

No, there would be no reaction present. This is because the particles are more reactive in the zinc then they are in the iron, thus creating no displacement reaction to occur between the metals.

magnesium is an alkaline earth metal. silver, copper, lead, zinc, and iron are transition metals. alkaline earths are naturally more reactive then transition metals.

Some like Zinc and Iron are reactive than Platinum and Gold

No reaction will take place as iron is less reactive than zinc.

sodium is more reactive that iron

No. Iron is more reactive.
