Question

Use the following Activity Series to predict and balance the following single replacement reactions. Note for reaction for hydrogen would include H+ or acidic solution.

General Activity Series for metals: Li > Ca > Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Pb > H2 > Cu > Ag > Pt
General Activity Series for non-metals: F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2
a) A piece of copper is dropped into a container of water.
b) Liquid bromine is added to a container of sodium iodide crystals
c) An aluminum strip is immersed in a solution of silver nitrate

d) Zinc pellets are added to a sulfuric acid solution

e) Magnesium turnings are added to a solution of lead (II) acetate

Explanation / Answer

A) no reaction as Cu is less reactive than H2.

B) I2 would be evolved as bromine is more reactive.

C) single displacement reaction would occur as Al is more reactive then silver forming Aluminium nitrate.

D) H2 would be evolved as Zn is more reactive than H2.
