Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?

as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.


Can you stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon why or why not?

No, we cannot stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon because , copper is more reactive than silver. Thus,it would displace silver from the silver nitrate solution forming copper nitrate....


How do you displace silver from copper sulphate solution?

With science!


Why is there no colour change when a silver rod is put in blue copper sulphate solution?

Silver is less reactive than copper and so cannot displace it from a compound.


What can you not use magnesium for and why?

You cannot use Magnesium for displacing Silver from Silver nitrate solution; because even if a drop of water is present the mixture, the there will be an explosion, which is enough for boiling off the water, or decomposing the products.


What metal cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acid?

Silver


A metal which cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution?

Copper is a metal that cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution. This is because copper has a lower reactivity than zinc and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.


Why does magnesium displace copper from copper sulphate?

This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. .... magnesium + copper sulphate ---> copper + magnesium sulphate Mg + CuSO4 ----> MgSO4 + Cu the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal. Hope this helps. :)


What precipitate is formed when magnesium and silver nitrate mix?

Silver metal, the magnesium displaces the silver from solution. It's not really a "precipitate" exactly; the silver forms deposits on the surface of the magnesium instead of crystallizing in the solvent.


Why does Copper displaces silver from silver nitrate solution?

Due to it's electronic structure it is more reactive than silver and so will displace it from its compound.


Can silver displace zinc from its salt solution?

If the zinc salt is soluble and the analogous silver salt is not, silver will displace the zinc as the silver salt precipitates out. For example, zinc chloride is soluble, but the solubility of silver chloride is very low. If silver nitrate is added to a zinc chloride solution, silver chloride will precipitate out, leaving zinc nitrate in solution.


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum
