The first reaction will occur. This is a kind of replacement reaction. The metal that is more active can replace the less metal that is in the form of ion. The order of the common metal activity from the most reactive to the least reactive is, K, Ca, Na, Mg, Al, Zn, Fe, Sn, Pb, (H), Cu, Hg, Ag, Pt, Au.
