What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

What is the activity series?

Back

The activity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing reactivity, used to predict whether a single replacement reaction will occur.

Front

What happens if a metal is less reactive than the metal in a compound?

Back

No reaction will occur.

What is the predicted outcome of the reaction: Au (s) + HCl (l)?

Back

No Reaction.

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?

Back

A + BC → AC + B, where A is a more reactive element than B.

How can you determine if a reaction will occur using the activity series?

Back

Compare the reactivity of the free element with the element in the compound; if the free element is more reactive, the reaction will occur.
