Displacement Worksheet Extra

The document discusses the reactivity series of metals and provides examples of displacement reactions. It lists metals in order of reactivity from most to least reactive. More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds. The document gives several examples of displacement reactions and asks the reader to create one more example, which is magnesium nitrate reacting with lithium to produce lithium nitrate since lithium is more reactive than magnesium.

  • Reactivity Series Exercise

Reactivity Series Tuesday 27th January 2015

Keywords: Copper, reactive, displacement, Calcium, Magnesium pages 128-129

DNA: Write in your book: What is the formula for Potassium Chloride?
Potassium + chlorine = Potassium chloride
This is a balanced equation.

Below are a series of possible reactions.


Try to work out which is the most reactive?
Number Metal 1 vs. Metal 2 The most reactive metal wins
1 Lead vs. Zinc Zinc
2 Magnesium vs. Hydrogen magnesium
3 Calcium vs. Lead calcium
4 Copper vs. Gold copper
5 Silver vs. Calcium calcium
6 Potassium vs. Carbon potassium
7 Carbon vs. Calcium calcium

8 Hydrogen vs. Carbon carbon

You are a Chemist working for a company that makes different compounds. Your job is to find out which of the
following metals are displace (take over) the non-metal:
Compound + Metal Displacement or No Displacement Explanation

1 Magnesium Chloride + Sodium = Sodium Chloride Sodium is more reactive


Magnesium
2 Potassium Chloride + Iron = No displacement Potassium is the most reactive
metal
3 Zinc Chloride + Lead = none Zinc is more reactive

4 Aluminium Chloride + Calcium = Calcium chloride Calcium more reactive

5 Copper Chloride + Silver = none


Copper is more reactive
6 Calcium oxide + Zinc = Calcium oxide
Calcium more reactive
7 Gold oxide + Hydrogen = Hydrogen oxide
Hydrogen is more reactive
8 Lead oxide + Carbon = Carbon oxide
Carbon is more reactive
9 Aluminium oxide + Zinc = none Aluminium is more reactive

Now create your own example of a

10 Magnesium nitrate + lithium = Lithium nitrate


Lithium more reactive then
magnesium
