Why does the reaction h2o + cu→no reaction not proceed to a product?

the reaction proceeds too slowly to create products.

copper has a higher activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it.

copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it.

the reaction cannot occur because water is a reactant.

answer is copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it.

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that a stronger element is able to displace a less stronger element in a chemical reaction.

And, according to the reactivity chart hydrogen is more reactive in nature than copper.

Therefore, when Cu is added to then there will be no reaction because copper is less reactive than hydrogen.

Thus, we can conclude that the reaction not proceed to a product because copper has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it.
