18
Q

A ________ reactive metal will displace a ________ reactive metal

A

More

Less

19
Q

Why will a more reactive metal displace a less reactive metal from its oxide

A

Because it will bond more strongly to the oxygen

20
Q

Iron oxide + Aluminium —>

A

Iron oxide + Aluminium —> Aluminium oxide + iron

21
Q

Metal compounds such as, copper sulfate, zinc chloride and sodium chloride are all metal ________

A

Metal salts

22
Q

What happens if you put a reactive metal into a solution of a less reactive metal salt

A

The reactive metal will replace the less reactive metal in the salt
E.g. Copper sulfate + Iron —> Iron sulfate + Copper

23
Q

If you put a less reactive metal into a solution of a more reactive metal salt, what will happen

A

Nothing. No displacement

24
Q

How are displacement reactions useful in chemistry

A

They allow for you to figure out where in the reactivity series a metal is supposed to go
