Displacement Reactions

This video tutorial explains the reactivity series, including the addition of carbon, and how it helps predict chemical reactions. It covers displacement reactions with examples, such as zinc displacing copper, and highlights the historical context of metal discovery and smelting. The video emphasizes using the reactivity series to predict reactions and name products, without memorizing the list.

How does the addition of carbon to the reactivity series affect the predictions of reactions?

What historical method was used to isolate low-reactivity metals from their ores?
