single Replacement

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?

Back

A + BC → AC + B

Front

What determines if a single replacement reaction will occur?

Back

The reactivity of the elements involved; a more reactive element can replace a less reactive one.

Front

Predict the product of the reaction: Mg + HCl → ?

Back

MgCl₂ + H₂

Front

What is the result of the reaction: Zn + AuCl₂ → ?

Back

ZnCl₂ + Au

Front

Which is more reactive: Ag or Ca?

Back

Ca is more reactive than Ag.

Front

Predict the products of the reaction: Br₂ (l) + KI (aq) → ?

Back

KBr + I₂

Front

What is the outcome of the reaction: 2Li (s) + 2H₂O (l) → ?

Back

2LiOH (aq) + H₂ (g)

Front

What is the role of the activity series in single replacement reactions?

Back

It ranks metals by their reactivity, helping to predict if a reaction will occur.

Front

What happens in a no reaction scenario in single replacement?

Back

The more reactive element cannot displace the less reactive element.
