When Pb and AlCl3 react together, lead (Pb) can replace aluminum (Al) in the compound because lead is lower on the activity series.

Question

True
False

Answer 1

False.

In the activity series of metals, more reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from compounds. Since lead (Pb) is lower than aluminum (Al) in the activity series, lead cannot replace aluminum in aluminum chloride (AlCl3). Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
