Which element will Li replace in the following reaction: Li + MgCl₂ →

• Mg

• Cl

Why does Li replace Mg?

• a. Metals replace metals in single replacement reactions

• b. Metals replace nonmetals in single replacement reactions

This is the correct chemical equation: Li + MgCl₂ → Mg + LiCl₂

• True

• False

Why was this incorrect? Li + MgCl₂ → Mg + LiCl₂

• The formula for lithium chloride is wrong

• Chlorine should be the lone element
