Displacement Reactions

Question 0

Reactivity serie

Answer 0

Most reactive to least reactive

Na Ca Mg Al Zn Fe Pb (H) Cu Ag Au

Question 1

What is a displacement reaction?

Answer 1

Reactions that involve the displacement of metal ions in solution by different metals

Question 2

How do you know if a reaction will take place?

Answer 2

If the metal is more reactive then the solution

Or to the right of the metal

Question 3

Hints of a displacement reaction in a formula

Answer 3

If the metal has swapped

Question 4

Example of a displacement reaction

Answer 4

[reaction] this is a displacement reaction
[observation] when the (colour) (metal) solid is placed into the (colour) (solution) solution, a (colour) solid is form after a few minutes, the (colour) (metal) started to disappear and the (colour) solution faded to (colour)
[word and balanced formula]
[chemistry and link] (metal) is more reactive than (metal) so (metal) will displace (ion) from solution. The (more reactive metal) atoms lose electrons to form (metal ions) (equations) therefore the (colour metal) metal gets smaller as the (colour) (metal ion) ions go into solution. The (ion) gains electrons to form (metal) atoms (equation) therefor the (colour) solid (metal) is formed. The (colour) colour of the solution fades to (colour) as the (ions) ions are removed from solution.
