When a metal ‘X’ is added to salt solution of a metal ‘Y’, following chemical reaction takes place: Metal X + salt solution of ‘Y ’ → salt solution of ‘X’ + metal ‘Y’ Mention the inference you draw regarding the reactivity of metal ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and also about the type of reaction. State the reason of your conclusions.

It is a displacement reaction.
Metal X is more reactive than metal Y
Metal X is displacing metal Y from its salt solution. A more reactive metal displaces less reactive one from its salt solution hence X is more reactive than Y.
