How are replacement reactions similar to one another?

I think you mean displacement reactions. There are 2 types of displacement reactions: single, and double displacement. Single displacement is when a metal -nonmetal reacts with a metal or a nonmetal atom, and the metal or nonmetal atom switches places with the one in the molecule. Double displacement is when two molecules (same as above) react, and the metals/nonmetals (it doesn't really matter in this case) are swapped. They both have a switching of places between atoms, so I guess this is how they are similar.


What the single replacement reaction of fe plus C2H3O2?

A single replacement reaction will not occur. In a single replacement reaction, either a metal will replace another metal in a compound, or an anion will replace another anion in a compound. Click on the related link to see the Wikipedia article on single displacement (single replacement).


What type of replacement is metal water plus metal hydroxide hydrogen?

I think you mean metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen. This is a displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction.


What type of reaction does magnesium metal reacts with hydrogen chloride dissolved in water make?

2HCl + Mg = MgCl2 + H2 It is a displacement reaction.


How can a table listing of metals in an activity series be useful for prending whether a chemical reaction will occur?

An activity series of metals can predict whether a replacement (displacement) reaction will occur. You use the activity series to compare the reactivity of different metals in order to predict whether a replacement reaction will occur. A metal that is above another metal in the series will replace that metal in a compound.


What is displacement reaction and what is an example of one?

See the Related Questions to the left for information about Single and Double Displacement Reactions.when one metal is more reactive than another they switch places for example:magnesium+copper oxide--magnesium oxide+copperthey switch places because magnesium is more reactive metal.


Explain why hydrogen gas is given off when a reactive metal undergoes a single-displacement reaction with water?

All reactive metals undergo a similar single-displacement reaction with water. They all form hydrogen.


Why does potassium react with water but zinc does not?

Potassium is an alkali metal with one valence electron more reactive than zinc which has completely filled d orbitals. Hence potassium will react with water and not zinc.


What in a single displacement reaction?

A more reactive metal pushes out a less reactive metal out of a compound element, eg. CuSo4+Mg=MgSo4+Cu


What makes coke rust metal nails?

the acidity and chemicals in coke are strong enough to reverse the displacement reaction


Is magnesium and hydrochloric acid an acid-base reaction?

No, it is a single displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction. It is not an acid base reaction because although hydrochloric acid is obviously and acid, magnesium is a metal, not a base.
