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.

What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?

Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.


Is copper more reactive then aluminium?

No, copper is less reactive than aluminum.


Which metal is more reactive neon or copper?

Neon is not even a metal! It is a noble gas, so relatively unreactive. Copper is a moderatly unreactive metal, more reactive metals include pottassium, sodium, zinc & iron.


Is gold more reactive then copper?

no, gold is the most stable metal that there is.


Which is the most reactive titanium aluminum or platinum?

Aluminium and titanium are about the same but aluminium is more reactive. platinum is the least reactive metal


Which metal will replace aluminum in a solution of aluminum compound?

Any metal which is more reactive than Aluminium, for example any metal in group 1 or 2.


How scrap iron is used to displace copper from solution?

In general, any metal higher than copper in the "electromotive series" will displace copper from copper sulfate solution. This category includes all the alkali and alkaline earth metals and other common metals such as iron and zinc. For example Aluminum and Iron both displace Copper: Aluminum in Copper sulfate will trade places in the ionic balance of the solution and 'join' with the sulfate. CuSO4(aq) + Al(s) ==> AlSO4(aq) + Cu++(s) Because this single displacement reaction occurs in immediate proximity to the aluminum, Copper++ ions accumulate in a fluffy rust colored fur around the aluminum. Iron in Copper Sulfate will also go into the aqueous sulfate solution and the Copper will precipitate onto the Iron CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) ==> FeSO4(aq) + Cu?(s) This reaction happens at the ferrous surface more intimately than the Aluminum and the Copper is deposited as a 'plate'.


Why can iron be used to get copper sulfate solution?

Because iron is a more reactive metal than copper.


Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?

because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc


Why can iron be used to extract copper?

Iron is a more reactive metal than copper, and so will replace it in a compound. The more reactive a metal is, the more stable it is in a compound, and the less stable it is in its elemental form. So relative to one another, iron is more stable in a compound while copper is more stable as apure element.


What will diplace copper from copper sulphate soluctions?

Any metal more reactive than copper can be the replacing metal in copper sulfate solution reactions. Iron and zinc are the most common metals replacing copper in these reactions.


Why does the reaction of iron and copper chloride occur?

The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride. Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.
