What term describes a more reactive element taking the place of a less reactive element?
The more reactive substance is known as a catalyst.
Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?
it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.
Will cu replace H from H2SO4?
No. Copper will not replace hydrogen in sulfuric acid because it is less reactive than hydrogen.
What alkali metal element is less reactive than calcium?
it is the lithium metal. it is less reactivated.
What is most likely to happen during 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 is it called when a more reactive metal replace a less reactive metal in a compound?
it displaces the less reative metal and replaces it.
What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
What term describes a more reactive element taking the place of a less reactive element?
The more reactive substance is known as a catalyst.
As you go down a period does the element become more reactive or less reactive when placed in water?
more reactive
What happens in a single-replacment reaction?
A more reactive element displace the less reactive element from a compound.Example: Fe + CuSO4 = Cu + FeSO4
What is the group of element that are less reactive?
alkaline earth metals
Would you expect cesium element 55 to be more or less reactive than potassium?
more reactive
Do less reactive halogens displace more reactive ones?
No. More reactive halogens will replace less reactive ones in a compound. This is because a more reactive halogen is more stable in a compound relative to a less reactive one, while a less reactive halogen is relatively more stable in its elemental form.
Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?
it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.
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 is the link between displacement reaction and the reactivity series?
the reactivity series lists elements in order from most reactive to least reactive. in a displacement reaction, a more reactive element will "displace" a less reactive element in a compound, the reactivity series can therefore be used to determine which displacement reactions are possible.
Will cu replace H from H2SO4?
No. Copper will not replace hydrogen in sulfuric acid because it is less reactive than hydrogen.
