Questions and Answers

In the displacement reaction, the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its compound. What happens to the displaced metal?

  • It forms a solid that settles at the bottom
  • It remains dissolved in the solution
  • Both b and c (correct)
  • It coats the surface of the more reactive metal
  • What happens to the color of the copper(II) sulfate solution during the displacement reaction with magnesium?

  • It fades gradually (correct)
  • It turns colorless
  • It becomes darker blue
  • It remains blue

    Displacement Reactions between Metals and Aqueous Solutions of Metal Salts

    • Displacement reactions can be used to compare the reactivity of two metals in a salt solution of one of the metals.
    • The more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from the solution, causing it to slowly disappear.
    • The reaction can be observed as the colour of the solution changes, indicating the formation of a new compound.

    Example: Displacement of Copper by Magnesium

    • Magnesium is a highly reactive metal that can displace copper from copper(II) sulfate solution.
    • The reaction is: Mg + CuSO4 → MgSO4 + Cu
    • The blue colour of the CuSO4 solution fades as colourless magnesium sulfate solution is formed.
    • Copper coats the surface of the magnesium and also forms solid metal that falls to the bottom of the beaker.
