The more reactive substance is known as a catalyst.
Start with a more reactive metal or element and a less reactive metal or element in solution or in contact with each other. The more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its solution or compound, resulting in a new compound containing the more reactive metal and a separate less reactive metal. The displacement reaction follows the activity series of metals, where more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
Iodine is less reactive than bromine, so it cannot displace bromine from sodium bromide in a chemical reaction. In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element can displace a less reactive element from its compound. Since iodine is less reactive than bromine, it cannot replace bromine in the compound.
Sodium is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less reactive than potassium.
Ag (silver) is less reactive than Zn (zinc), so silver will not react with zinc carbonate (ZnCO3). In a chemical reaction, the more reactive element (zinc) will typically displace the less reactive element (silver) in a compound.
No, magnesium cannot replace lithium in a single replacement reaction because lithium is more reactive than magnesium. In single replacement reactions, a more reactive element will displace a less reactive element from a compound, but this is not possible in this case due to the reactivity trend.
Sodium
The more reactive substance is known as a catalyst.
more reactive
It is called a displacement reaction. In this reaction, the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its compound, forming a new compound with the more reactive metal.
A more reactive element displace the less reactive element from a compound.Example: Fe + CuSO4 = Cu + FeSO4
alkaline earth metals
Start with a more reactive metal or element and a less reactive metal or element in solution or in contact with each other. The more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its solution or compound, resulting in a new compound containing the more reactive metal and a separate less reactive metal. The displacement reaction follows the activity series of metals, where more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
the reactivity series lists elements in order from most reactive to least reactive. in a displacement reaction, a more reactive element will "displace" a less reactive element in a compound, the reactivity series can therefore be used to determine which displacement reactions are possible.
Iodine is less reactive than bromine, so it cannot displace bromine from sodium bromide in a chemical reaction. In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element can displace a less reactive element from its compound. Since iodine is less reactive than bromine, it cannot replace bromine in the compound.
This is called a displacement reaction. It occurs when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound during a chemical reaction.
In this reaction, sodium metal will replace iron in the iron chloride, forming sodium chloride and iron metal. This is an example of a single displacement reaction, where a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound.
