Study Notes
Redox Properties of Metals
- Metals can displace other metals from their salt solutions.
- The reactivity series demonstrates the ability of metals to displace other metals from salt solutions.
- Zinc displaces copper from copper sulfate solution.
- Zinc displaces silver from silver nitrate solution.
- Copper does not displace zinc from zinc sulfate solution.
- Silver is not displaced from its salt solution by copper.
- Displacement reactions involve oxidation and reduction.
- Zinc is oxidized (loses electrons), and copper ions are reduced (gain electrons).
- Metals at the top of the reactivity series are more reactive than those below, readily displacing other metals from their solutions.
Metal Displacement Reactions
- Displacement reactions involve a more reactive metal displacing a less reactive metal from a solution of its salt.
- Chemical equations indicate reactants, products, and oxidation states.
- The reactivity series shows that metals decrease in reactivity from top to bottom.
- Metals at the top of the reactivity series can displace hydrogen from acids.
- Metals below hydrogen in the reactivity series cannot displace hydrogen from acids.
Hydrogen Displacement
- Some metals react with acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
- The reactivity of a metal determines its ability to displace hydrogen from acids.
- Metals like magnesium, zinc, and iron react with acids, releasing hydrogen gas.
- Copper and silver are less reactive and won't displace hydrogen.
Reactivity Series
- The reactivity series ranks metals based on their ability to displace other metals or hydrogen from solutions.
- Metals at the top are more reactive than those further down.
- The reactivity series is crucial to predicting displacement reactions.
- Understanding the reactivity series helps predict if a metal will displace another in a reaction.
