Question

Explain why there would be no reaction between Potassium Chloride and Zinc ​

Answer 1

Answer: zinc is less reactive than chlorine and therefore will not displace it.

Explanation: as we see in the reactivity series, chlorine is more reactive than potassium. a less reactive element will not displace (take the place of) a more reactive element. no reaction will occur.

Answer 2

Since zinc is replacing potassium, it would have to be higher on the activity scale. It is, however, lower, so these two substances have no reaction
