The concentration of solution will change when it is placed in a container which is made of:
Al
Cu
Ag
None
A metal can displace another metal from its salt solution if it is more reactive, which means it must have a lower standard reduction potential (higher oxidation potential). According to the electrochemical series, Aluminium (Al) is more reactive than Zinc (Zn) because the standard reduction potential of Al () is lower than that of Zn () . Therefore, an Aluminium container will react spontaneously with the solution (), causing the concentration of the solution to change. On the other hand, Copper () and Silver () have higher reduction potentials and are less reactive than zinc, so they will not react with the solution .
