Red hot carbon will remove oxygen from the oxides XO and YO not from ZO. Y will remove oxygen from XO. Use this evidence to deduce the order of activity of the three metals X, Y and Z putting the most reactive first
Options
- AX, Y, Z
- BZ, Y, X
- CY, X, Z
- DZ, X, Y
Correct answer
B. Z, Y, X
Step-by-step solution
Carbon does not reduce ZO and thus, is more reactive. Also Y removes oxygen from XO and thus, Y is more active than X. Thus, activity order is Z, Y, X.
