    Cards (42)

    • Match the reactivity with the role in a displacement reaction:
      More Reactive ↔️ Replaces less reactive element
      Less Reactive ↔️ Is replaced by more reactive element
    • In a displacement reaction, the new compound formed is called the product
    • The reactivity series includes elements from alkali metals to noble gases.

      True
    • A more reactive element in the reactivity series will always displace a less reactive element from a compound.
      True
    • Match the reactivity level with the example elements:
      High ↔️ Alkali metals
      Moderate ↔️ Alkaline earth metals
      Low ↔️ Transition metals
      Lowest ↔️ Noble gases
    • Steps to predict the products of a displacement reaction
      1️⃣ Consult the reactivity series

      True
    • The reactivity series orders elements from most reactive to least reactive.

      True
    • Steps to predict the products of a displacement reaction
      1️⃣ Consult the Reactivity Series

    • Which industrial process is essential for fertilizer production?
      Haber-Bosch Process
    • A displacement reaction occurs because the more reactive element has a higher tendency to form ions
    • What is the role of the more reactive element in a displacement reaction?
      Displaces less reactive
    • Why does a more reactive element replace a less reactive element in a compound?
      Higher tendency to form ions
    • The reactivity series is used to predict whether a displacement
    • Transition metals are more reactive than alkali metals.
      False
    • What is the first step to predict the products of a displacement reaction?
      Consult the reactivity series
    • When zinc reacts with copper sulfate, the products are zinc sulfate and copper
    • What role does the more reactive element play in a displacement reaction?
      Acts as the reactant
    • What is the product formed in a displacement reaction when a more reactive element replaces a less reactive one?
      New compound
    • The reactivity series is used to predict if a displacement reaction will occur.
    • Noble gases are the least reactive elements in the reactivity series.
    • What is the balanced equation for the reaction between zinc and copper sulfate?
      Zn(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
    • What is an example of a single displacement reaction?
      Zn(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

    • What is a displacement reaction?
      More reactive replaces less
    • The reactivity series orders elements from most reactive to least reactive.

      True
    • Match the reactivity with the role in a displacement reaction:
