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
Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate?
Iron can be used to get copper from Copper Sulfate because it is more reactive than Copper (higher up in the reactivity series).
What metals do not react with an acids?
Copper, Mercury, Platinum, Silver, Gold. check the reactivity series, it may help.
Where is carbon placed in the reactivity series and why?
Carbon comes below aluminum and above zinc in the reactivity series: Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium CARBON Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum
Why can't copper replace iron in salt water?
Copper is less reactive than iron, therefore iron will exist as an aqueous ion and copper will be an elemental metal. See the "reactivity series for metals."

Does copper react with dilute sulfuric acid?
No, as copper is below Hydrogen in the reactivity series
What metals or metal compounds will not react with copper sulfate?
any metals that are below copper in the reactivity series
What metals does hydrogen places between in the reactivity series?
Between Lead and Copper
Why is scrap iron used to displace copper?
Because iron is higher on the reactivity series meaning it can displace the copper
Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate?
Iron can be used to get copper from Copper Sulfate because it is more reactive than Copper (higher up in the reactivity series).

Copper, Mercury, Platinum, Silver, Gold. check the reactivity series, it may help.
What unreactive metal does not react with dilute acid?
any metal's that below Copper in the reactivity series.
Which metal will destroy the blue colour of Copper?
The metal that will destroy the blue colour of Copper ions is any metal above copper in the reactivity series, such as calcium.
Where is carbon placed in the reactivity series and why?
Carbon comes below aluminum and above zinc in the reactivity series: Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium CARBON Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum
Which metals is more reactive copper or sodium?
I think sodium is more reactive than copper, because on the Reactivity Series list sodium is higher than copper.
Does copper burst into flames like magnesium?
No. As copper is low on the reactivity series it only releases a small amount of hydrogen and it also changes colour due to oxidisation.
