What does it mean that one metal is higher than another in the reactivity series?

It is more reactive and forms positive ions more readily

Which reaction will occur?

Zinc displaces copper from copper(II) sulfate solution

The blue colour fades and a pink-brown deposit of copper forms

reduction by heating with carbon

It is above carbon in the reactivity series, so carbon cannot reduce its oxide

It is rapidly decolourised from orange to colourless
