Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a
statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

 SECTION-C (ATTEMPT ANY 4)
Section- C consists of Case study questions. There are a total of 5 questions in this
Section. Attempt any 4 questions from this section. The first attempted 4
questions would be evaluated.

CASE STUDY BASED MCQs:

On the basis of reactivity of different metals with oxygen, water and acids as
well as displacement reactions, the metals have been arranged in the decreasing
order of their reactivities . This arrangement is known as activity series or
reactivity series of metals.
The basis of reactivity is the tendency of metals to lose electrons. If a metal
can lose electrons easily to form positive ions, it will react readily with other
substances. Therefore, it will be a reactive metal. On the other hand, if a meal
loses electrons less rapidly to form a positive ion, it will react slowly with other
substances. Therefore, such a metal will be less reactive.

25. Which of the following metals is less reactive than hydrogen?

(A) Copper (B) Zinc (C) Magnesium (D) Lead

26. Which of the following metals is more reactive than hydrogen?

(A) Silver (B) Platinum (C) Iron (D) Gold

27. Which of the following metals reacts vigorously with oxygen?

(A) Zinc (B) Magnesium (C) Sodium (D) Copper

28. Which of the following represents the correct order of reactivity for the given
metals?
(A) Na > Mg > Al > Cu (B) Mg > Na > Al > Cu
(C) Na > Mg > Cu > Al (D) Mg > Al > Na > Cu

29. Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid. It is
because HNO3, is a strong oxidising agent. It oxidises the H2, produced to
water and itself gets reduced to any of the nitrogen oxides (N2O, NO, NO2).
But _____________ and _____________ metals react with very dilute HNO3 to
evolve H2 gas.
(A) Pb, Cu (B) Na, K (C) Mg, Mn (D) Al, Zn
