Suppose you have 5.00g of powdered magnesium metal, 1.00L of 2.00M potassium nitrate solution, and 1.00L of a 2.00M silver nitrate solution.
a) Which one of the solutions will react with the magnesium
powder?
I don't understand how to go about answering this question at all...

Look at the activity series. The Mg will displace the Ag in AgNO3 but will not react with KNO3.
Oh, awesome! I got it now. Thank you so much for your help!
