∙ 13y agoit is in the metal reactivity series because it is higher than other metals, so it is out in the reactivity series so it is easier to do equations

Which rule for the reaction of a metal with oxides of other metals?
Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
Is it impossible for an element to replace atoms of anothe element in a compound?
No. In a displacement reaction, that is exactly what happens. If an element low down in the reactivity series is in a compound, and you add an element that is higher placed in the reactivity series. The more reactive element will displace the less reactive element in the compound.Example:Copper Sulphate - Copper is low in the reactivity series and is in a compoundSodium + Copper Sulphate - Sodium is higher in the reactivity series than copper, and is in it's pure elemental form.Copper + Sodium Sulphate - The Sodium that is higher in the reactivity series has switched places with the Copper, which is lower in the reactivity series.FULL EQUATION:Sodium + Copper Sulphate --> Copper + Sodium Sulphate
What method is used to extract metals that are above carbon in the reactivity series?
Usually they put electricity into the metal ion solution to reverse the ionization
Basic information about the reactivity series?
The reactivity series of metals is a table listing metals from the most reactive to the least reactive.
What position is aluminium in the reactive series?
It's 7th in the reactivity series.
Why can't sodium be extracted by reduction with carbon?
Because it isn't below carbon in the reactivity series. Sodium is so high on the reactivity series that the only effective way of extracting it is by electrolysis.
What is the position of titanium in the reactivity series?
Titanium is placed between aluminium and magnesium.
What metal oxides can be converted to the metal by carbon reduction but not by hydrogen reduction?
any metals below carbon in the reactivity series. :)
What metal is more reactive copper or aluminum?
Aluminium. This is because aluminum is "higher" than carbon in the reactivity series. You may wish to refer to the reactivity series if you need to compare the relative reactivities of other metals.
Which metal oxides will not react with carbon?
Metals which are above Carbon in the reactivity series, eg. Magnesium. These metals need to be extracted by electrolysis.
Which rule for the reaction of a metal with oxides of other metals?
Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
Why are carbon and hydrogen in the reactivity series?
"Carbon and hydrogen are often included in the reactivity series even though they are non-metals. Carbon is included because this helps to explain what happens in the extraction of iron in a blast furnace. Hydrogen is included because any metal below it will not react with dilute acids."http://www.frankswebspace.org.uk/ScienceAndMaths/chemistry/reactivitySeries.htm

What is gold's reactivity?
golds reactivity is very low in the reactivity series ....
Which oxide can be reduced to the metal using carbon?
Anything below carbon on the reactivity series.
Why francium is not placed at the top of metal reactivity series?
Because francium has a larger atomic radius, due to a higher presence of protons and neutrons.
Why is there no reaction when gold and oxygen mix?
Because Gold (Au) is very unreactive, it is placed at the very bottom of the reactivity series with the exception of platinum.
