Read each question carefully and provide the best answer. For reaction questions, balance the equations and indicate if a reaction occurs.
1. Which of the following metals is most reactive?
Copper
Zinc
Silver
Gold
2. In a single replacement reaction, an element reacts with a to replace another element.
compound
another element
mixture
solution
3. The reactivity of metals is generally determined by their position in the .
4. In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive element will displace a reactive element from its compound.
5. Predict the products for the following single replacement reactions. If no reaction occurs, write 'No Reaction'. Balance the equations.
a) Mg(s) + HCl(aq) →
b) Cu(s) + AgNO₃(aq) →
c) Fe(s) + ZnSO₄(aq) →
6. A less reactive halogen can replace a more reactive halogen from its compound.
True
False
7. The activity series is used to predict whether a single replacement reaction will occur.
True
False
8. Explain why a strip of zinc metal reacts when placed in a solution of copper(II) sulfate, but a strip of copper metal does not react when placed in a solution of zinc sulfate. Refer to the activity series in your explanation.
