What else can I help you with?
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 metals do not react with an acids?
Copper, Mercury, Platinum, Silver, Gold. check the reactivity series, it may help.
What position is aluminium in the reactive series?
Aluminium is in the middle of the reactivity series of metals. It is more reactive than copper, silver, and gold, but less reactive than sodium, potassium, and 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
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
more reactive than copper. In a displacement reaction, the more reactive element will displace the less reactive element from its compound. Zinc has a higher reactivity than copper on the reactivity series of metals, allowing it to displace copper in the reaction.
Does copper react with dilute sulfuric acid?
No, as copper is below Hydrogen in the reactivity series
What metals does hydrogen places between in the reactivity series?
Between Lead and Copper

Why silver cannot displace copper from its salt solution?
Silver is higher in the reactivity series than copper, meaning that it is more reactive. When silver is added to a copper salt solution, the silver ions will not be able to displace the copper ions because copper is lower in the reactivity series. This results in no reaction occurring between silver and copper ions in the solution.
What metals do not react with an acids?
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.
What is the reactivity series for copper and calcium and sodium and potassium and lithium?
The reactivity series from highest to lowest reactivity is: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, lead, copper, silver, gold. In this series, copper is less reactive than calcium, sodium, potassium, and lithium. Copper will not displace these metals from their compounds in solution (e.g., copper will not displace calcium from calcium chloride).
What position is aluminium in the reactive series?
Aluminium is in the middle of the reactivity series of metals. It is more reactive than copper, silver, and gold, but less reactive than sodium, potassium, and calcium.

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 is copper sulphate and iron a displacement reaction?
Copper is higher in the reactivity series than iron, so when copper sulfate solution is added to iron, the copper ions in the solution will displace the iron from the iron metal, forming copper metal and iron sulfate. This reaction occurs because metals higher in the reactivity series are more willing to give up electrons and undergo oxidation.
Why does zinc plus copper oxide equal copper plus zinc oxide?
This is a chemical reaction known as a displacement reaction. Zinc has a higher reactivity than copper, so when zinc is added to copper oxide, it displaces copper from the compound forming zinc oxide and copper metal. This reaction occurs because metals higher in the reactivity series can displace metals lower in the series from their compounds.
