Of the metals below, which of the following will not dissolve in an aqueous solution containing nickel ions?

A) Aluminum

B) Chromium

C) Barium

D) Tin

E) Potassium

Reactivity Series:

For an element, the more negative its reduction potential, the more easily it can be oxidized. Therefore, the stronger it will be as a reducing agent. Alternatively, the more positive value of reduction potential indicates a greatr tendency to accept electrons. Therefore, the stronger it will be as an oxidizing agent.
