What is the activity series and how does it work
The activity series says that if a metal is higher on the table than hydrogen, it will replace the hydrogen.It can be used to predict the products in similar reactions involving a different metal.The activity series of metals is an empirical tool used to predict products in displacement reactions and reactivity of metals with water and acids in replacement reactions and ore extraction.It is used to determine the products of single displacement reactions, whereby metal a will replace another metal b in a solution if a is higher in the series.The reactivity series is an ordering of metals from most reactive to least reactive.An activity series is a sequence of related activities or events scheduled at set intervals.
The activity series is a useful guide for predicting the products of metal displacement reactions.Does the following reaction occur?
