Solution

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of reactivity series or electrochemical series. This series predicts how different metals will react with a specific compound.

In the reactivity series, lead (Pb) is less reactive than zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu), but more reactive than tin (Sn).

Therefore, a solution of 1.0 M Pb(NO3)2 will react with a container made of copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) because these metals are more reactive than lead (Pb). They will displace lead from its nitrate solution.

However, the solution will not react with a container made of tin (Sn) because tin is less reactive than lead. It cannot displace lead from its nitrate solution.

So, the correct answer is c. Sn (Tin).
