Any metal that is more reactive than copper (Cu) will react with copper acetate in a singe replacement reaction. These would be such metals as Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, An, Cr, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, and some others as well.
A more reactive metal pushes out a less reactive metal out of a compound element, eg. CuSo4+Mg=MgSo4+Cu
The chemical equation is:2 Al +3 CuCl2 = 3 Cu + 2 AlCl3
Yes iron is more reactive than copper because it is higher up on the activity series. There is more reasons to back this up such as outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. Hope this helps you. :D

Magnesium (Mg) is more reactive than aluminum (Al) because it is higher up in the reactivity series of metals. This means that magnesium can easily lose electrons to form positive ions in chemical reactions compared to aluminum.
A more reactive element displace the less reactive element from a compound.Example: Fe + CuSO4 = Cu + FeSO4
A more reactive metal pushes out a less reactive metal out of a compound element, eg. CuSo4+Mg=MgSo4+Cu
The balanced equation is: 2Al(s) + 3CuCl2(aq) -> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3Cu(s)
Aluminum (Al) tends to corrode more easily than the other metals listed. Aluminum forms a layer of oxide on its surface when exposed to air, but this oxide layer is not as protective as the oxide layers formed on other metals like stainless steel or zinc. This makes aluminum more susceptible to corrosion.
Any metal that is more reactive than copper (Cu) will react with copper acetate in a singe replacement reaction. These would be such metals as Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, An, Cr, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, and some others as well.
Cu-Zn-Al & Cu-Al-Ni
A more reactive metal pushes out a less reactive metal out of a compound element, eg. CuSo4+Mg=MgSo4+Cu
Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2 In this reaction, copper (Cu) is more reactive than silver (Ag), so it will replace silver in the compound AgNO3, resulting in the formation of silver metal and copper nitrate.
The chemical equation is:2 Al +3 CuCl2 = 3 Cu + 2 AlCl3
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Al and CuSO4 is 2Al + 3CuSO4 → 3Cu + Al2(SO4)3. By stoichiometry, 1 mole of Al produces 3 moles of Cu. So, first convert 20.0 grams of Al to moles, then use the mole ratio to find the moles of Cu produced, and finally convert moles of Cu to grams. The maximum amount of Cu that could be produced by reacting 20.0 grams of Al with excess CuSO4 would be 33.8 grams.
