Q3) Sulphuric Acid, H2SO4 is often termed as the king of chemicals, because of its ability
to vigorously react with many other chemicals. To check the power of H2SO4, Rajam
decided to perform a test. He decided that in this test, he will react H2SO4 with a
comparatively less reactive metal in the reactivity series. Can you help him by telling him one
such less reactive metal?
