What is the link between displacement reaction and the reactivity series?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
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.

How do they steer the space shuttle?
They use a reaction control system which is a series of jets which spray a tiny amount of gas to turn the shuttle.
When was Doctor Who's date of birth?
No one knows his precise date of birth, since his age seems to differ between series, though we know he is around 900 - 1,000. Much of his early life is shrouded in mystery!
What happened to rose in the third series of doctor who?
Rose was not in the third series, she left in the second series after being trapped in a parallel world.
What Doctor Who series is doomsday in?
Doomsday is the final episode of series 2.
Is there going to be another series of Doctor Who?
Yes, there will be another series aired in 2011.
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
How can a table listing of metals in an activity series be useful for prending whether a chemical reaction will occur?
An activity series of metals can predict whether a replacement (displacement) reaction will occur. You use the activity series to compare the reactivity of different metals in order to predict whether a replacement reaction will occur. A metal that is above another metal in the series will replace that metal in a compound.
Which type of chart helps predict the outcome of single replacement reaction?
A metal reactivity chart.
When predicting the products for a single replacement reaction what should you refer to?
This is the reactivity series of metals.
What metals does hydrogen places between in the reactivity series?
Between Lead and Copper
What is the importance of metal activity series on displacement reactions?
Metals higher in the reactivity series displace metals that are lower down. This concept has wider application than simply metals.
What happens when lithium reacts with potassium hydroxide solution?
There will be no reaction between the lithium and the potassium hydroxide. However, since the potassium hydroxide is in solution, the lithium will still react with the water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2Li + H2O --> H2 + LiOH.
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.
How reactive is cobalt?
zinc is more reactive and is higher in the reactivity series.
What is gold's reactivity?
golds reactivity is very low in the reactivity series ....
What is the position of titanium in the reactivity series?
Titanium is placed between aluminium and magnesium.
What is the reaction for NaCl and Cu metal?
It is no reaction. Copper cannot replace sodium because it is lower on the reactivity series.
