Arrange the following metals in the order in which they displace each other from the solution of their salts.

Al, Cu, Fe, Mg, and Zn.

The order in which the given metals displace each other from the solution of their salts is given by,

Mg>Al> Zn> Fe> Cu

Explanation -

A metal of stronger reducing power displaces another metal of weaker reducing power from its solution of salt. The order of increasing the reducing power of given metals is Cu< Fe< Zn< Al<Mg. Hence, we can interpret as Mg can displace Cu from its salt solution, but Cu cannot displace Mg. The order in which the given metals displace each other from the solution of their salts is given by, Mg>Al> Zn> Fe> Cu. This is hence arranged in decreasing order of its reactivity.
