1. Predicting Single & Double Displacement Reactions By Jed Perron
2. The Activity Series The Activity Series is used to predict the outcome of single displacement reactions
The higher a metal is on the Activity Series, the more likely it will react with those below it
A metal will not displace a metal higher on the activity series than itself
3. The Activity Series Cont. The metals near the top are more reactive because their valence electrons are more easily removed
H is the only nonmetal in the series, H2 may be displaced from acids or can be given off when a metal reacts with H2O producing H2 + metal hydroxide
4. The Activity Series Questions Which of these will react?
K + NaCl ? ???
K + NaCl ? Na + KCl
Al + AgNO3 ? ???
Al + AgNO3 ? Ag + AL(NO3)3
Cu + CaCO3 ? ???
Cu + CaCO3 ? Ca + CuCO3
Pb + ZnO ? ???
Pb + ZnO ? No Rxn
5. The Solubility Table The Solubility Table is used to predict the outcome of double replacement reactions
6. The Solubility Table Cont. If both products of a double replacement reaction are soluble then no reaction occurs
If at least one product of a double replacement reaction is solid then a reaction occurs
A double displacement reaction involves two ionic compounds that are dissolved in water
7. The Solubility Table Questions Which of these will react?
NaCl (aq) + Ba3(PO4)2 (s) ? ???
NaCl (aq) + Ba3(PO4)2 (s) ? No Rxn
FeCO3 (s) + CaCl (aq) ????
FeCO3 (s) + CaCl (aq) ? FeCl2 (aq) + CaCO3 (s)
LiNO3 (aq) + MgBr2 (aq) ? ???
LiNO3 (aq) + MgBr2 (aq) ? No Rxn
Zn(OH)2 (s) + NiSO4 (aq) ? ???
Zn(OH)2 (s) + NiSO4 (aq) ? ZnSO4 (aq) + Ni(OH)2 (s)
