Where in the reactivity series are the metals most affected by corrosion?

∙ 9y ago
The rate of corrosion is directly linked to a metal's reactivity. The higher the metal in the series, the more reactive, also more susceptible to corrosion with oxygen and water.
aluminum is not easy to corrode. Aluminum quickly reacts with oxygen in the air, and the oxide layer that forms protects the metal underneath from any further reaction.

How can a table listing of metals in an activity series be useful for prending whether a chemical reaction will occur?
An activity series of metals can predict whether a replacement (displacement) reaction will occur. You use the activity series to compare the reactivity of different metals in order to predict whether a replacement reaction will occur. A metal that is above another metal in the series will replace that metal in a compound.
Which combination of metals would electrolytic corrosion be most pronounced?
The two furthest apart in the galvanic series - for all practical purposes this is magnesium and Gold
Metal in the middle of the reactive series-or in a jumble?
I'm guessing that you've got the same science homework as me. It's Iron (or in jumble). Also, I checked on the reactivity series to find out which ones were in the middle, which are Zinc and Iron.
What two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Two metals that will react with dilute hydrochloric acid are zinc and magnesium.
Nut and bolt made up of same metal are preferred why?
Nuts and bolts made up of the same metal are preferred because they have the same strength and stress resistance.
Basic information about the reactivity series?
The reactivity series of metals is a table listing metals from the most reactive to the least reactive.
What is meant by reactivty series of metals?
Reactivity series is a list of metals arranged in the order of their decreasing activities.
What information is useful for predicting whether metal will replace another metal in compound?
The activity (or reactivity) series determines whether or not a metal will replace another one in a replacement reaction.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about the activity series.
What metals or metal compounds will not react with copper sulfate?
any metals that are below copper in the reactivity series
When was the reactivity series discovered?
A company called Alexander Proudfoot Mining developed the Reactivity Series as a way of summarising all the different properties of the reactive metals as they were involved in extracting metals from ore
Which rule for the reaction of a metal with oxides of other metals?
Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
What metals does hydrogen places between in the reactivity series?
Between Lead and Copper
What is the importance of metal activity series on displacement reactions?
Metals higher in the reactivity series displace metals that are lower down. This concept has wider application than simply metals.
Why are metals resistant to acids?
This depends on the chemical reactivity of the metal (position on the reativity series).
When predicting the products for a single replacement reaction what should you refer to?
This is the reactivity series of metals.
Which metal oxides will not react with carbon?
Metals which are above Carbon in the reactivity series, eg. Magnesium. These metals need to be extracted by electrolysis.
Why does the distance between the metals in the reactivity series affect the voltage of a fruit battery?
