Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Refer to a standard activity series chart if needed.
Activity Series of Metals (most active to least active):
Li > K > Ba > Ca > Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Ni > Sn > Pb > H > Cu > Ag > Au > Pt
Activity Series of Halogens (most active to least active):
F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2
1. Which of the following metals will react spontaneously with hydrochloric acid (HCl)?
Copper (Cu)
Silver (Ag)
Gold (Au)
Zinc (Zn)
2. A less reactive metal can displace a more reactive metal from a solution of its salt.
True
False
3. In the reaction between iron and copper(II) sulfate, will be displaced by because iron is more than copper.
4. Fluorine is the most reactive halogen, meaning it can displace , , and from their respective halide salts.
5. Predict whether a reaction will occur when magnesium metal is added to a solution of nickel(II) chloride. If a reaction occurs, write the balanced chemical equation. If no reaction, write 'No Reaction'.
6. Explain why it is not possible for gold to displace hydrogen from an acid solution.
