Read each question carefully and provide your answer in the space provided. For reaction prediction questions, ensure you balance the final chemical equation.
1. In a single replacement reaction, an element reacts with a compound. Which of the following is true about the products?
Two new elements are formed.
A new element and a new compound are formed.
Two new compounds are formed.
No reaction occurs.
2. Which type of reaction typically involves the exchange of ions between two compounds?
Single replacement
Double replacement
Combination
Decomposition
3. In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive will displace a less reactive one from a compound.
4. A common indicator of a double replacement reaction is the formation of a or a gas.
5. Predict the products and balance the following single replacement reaction:
Zn(s) + HCl(aq) →
6. Predict the products and balance the following double replacement reaction:
AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq) →
7. All single replacement reactions will occur spontaneously.
True
False
8. A precipitation reaction is a specific type of double replacement reaction.
True
False
9. Explain the role of the activity series in predicting whether a single replacement reaction will occur.
