Question

Refer to the activity series chart and determine which of the following displacement reactions can occur.

a. 2Ag(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq) → 2AgNO3(aq) + Zn(s)

b. 2Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) → 2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s)

c. CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

d. 3MgSO4(aq) + 2Al(s) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Answer 1

Among the choices provided, the answer is letter C, CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) since Iron(Fe) is higher up on the action graph and is, along these lines, more responsive than Copper(Cu). Because of this, Iron can supplant Copper in that substance equation.
