The Activity Series

Which one of the following would result in a displacement reaction?

• Iron with magnesium chloride
• magnesium with iron chloride
• Iron with Zinc Sulphate
• gold with silver nitrate

A displacement reaction will occur when...

• a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound.
• A less reactive metal displaces a more reactive metal from its compound
• Displacement only occurs when two of the same metals are reacted 
• Displacement reactions will only occur in metals above iron in the reactivity series
