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

Question

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 (A) X, Y, Z (B) Z, Y, X (C) Y, X, Z (D) Z, X, Y

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.

Q. 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

X, Y, Z

Z, Y, X

Y, X, Z

Z, X, Y

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.
