provided with strips of metals P, Q, R and S and

nitrate solution of P, Q, R and S
Procedure:
1. Metal strips P,Q,R and S are cleaned with sandpaper.
2. [2 - 5] cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 P nitrate, Q nitrate, R nitrate and S nitrate
solution are poured into four separate test tubes.
3. A strip of metal P is placed into each of the solutions.
4. Observations on the deposition of metals are recorded.
5. Steps 1 to 4 are repeated using strip metals Q, R and S to replace
strip metal P

:Deposition of metal occurs

X: No deposition of metal occurs

Explanation:
7. Metal P can displace metals Q, R and S from their salt solutions. Thus, P
is placed at the highest position in the electrochemical series.
8. Metal Q can only displace metals R and S from their salt solutions.
Thus, metal Q is placed higher than metals R and S but lower than
metal P in the electrochemical series.
9. Metal R can only displace metal S from its salt solution. Thus, metal R is
placed higher than metal S but lower than metals P and Q in the
electrochemical series.
10. Metal S cannot displace any metals from their salt solutions because it is
placed at the lowest position in the electrochemical series.
