chemistry-displacement reactions Flashcards
1
Q
iron + copper sulphate =
A
iron sulphate + copper
the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal
2
Q
what is the important rule to remember about displacement reactions
A
if the pure metal is higher in the reactivity series than the metal in the compound then displacement will happen
3
Q
what reaction is called the thermit reaction
A
aluminium+iron oxide= aluminium oxide + iron
when this compound is heated a displacement reaction takes place when the heat is released and it melts the displaced iron
4
Q
define a displacement reactions here
A
where a more reactive metal a less reactive metal to form a compound
