Displacement Reactions Quiz

Displacement Reactions

• A displacement reaction is a type of reaction where a less reactive element in a compound is replaced by a more reactive one.
• In a displacement reaction, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its compound.
• The reaction of potassium with water is an example of a vigorous displacement reaction.

Word Equations and Symbol Equations

• A word equation is used to describe a chemical reaction using words.
• A symbol equation is different from a word equation and uses chemical symbols and formulas to represent the reactants and products.

Reactivity Series

• The reactivity series is a list of metals in order of their reactivity.
• In the reactivity series, sodium is more reactive than gold.

Acids and Alkalis

• Examples of acids include (students are expected to provide their own examples).
• Examples of alkalis include (students are expected to provide their own examples).

Uses of Displacement Reactions

• Displacement reactions have a wide range of uses in science and everyday life.
• Displacement reactions can be used to predict the products of a reaction.
• Displacement reactions can be used to describe the reaction of metals with acids.
