Will cobalt react with sodium chloride? Co(s) + NaCl(aq) ? • Co(s) + NaCl(aq) NR (no reaction) • just because a chemical equation can be written doesn’t mean that is will actually happen!
Activity Series • list of elements organized according to the ease with which the elements undergo certain chemical reactions* • most active metals (easiest to lose e-) are at the TOP and can replace a metal in a cmpd found below it in single displacement reactions • *metals: lose e- non-metals: gain e-
Will the following react? IF so, write an equation. • Mn + H2O • Cd + O2 • Ag + HCl 300C
Mn + H2O --30C NR needs steam • 2Cd + O2 2CdO anything above Ag reacts with oxygen and Cd is above • Ag + HCl NR any metal above H2 reacts and Ag is below
Br2 + HCl NR Br is below Cl • Cl2 + 2KI 2KCl + I2 Cl is above I2
