Question

Transcribed Image Text:A strip of aluminium is placed into a test-tube containing aqueous lead(II) nitrate and left for
several minutes.
Aluminium is higher than lead in the reactivity series.
strip of
aluminium
-no change
Pb(NO,), solution
Which statement explains why lead is not displaced by this strip of aluminium?
A A thin insoluble layer of aluminium nitrate forms on the aluminium.
B Nitrate ions are reduced in aqueous solution.
C The ionic bonds between lead and nitrate ions are too strong.
D There is an unreactive oxide layer on the aluminium.
