Why can not each metal react to its own salt (Eg. Cu and CuSO4) ?
Solution
Metals don’t react with their own salts (like Cu and CuSO4) for two reasons:
- No driving force: The metal can’t displace itself because they have the same reactivity.
- Stability: Both the metal and metal ion are already stable in their electron configuration. No need to change.
