According to the activity series, which of the following single replacement reactions will take place?

LiCl + K yields KCl + Li

2 AlBr3 + 3Mg yields 3MgBr2 + 2Al

Pb(NO3)2 + 2Cu yields 2CuNO3 + Pb

CaCl2 + 2Na yields 2NaCl + Ca

d isnt possible but i dont know about the rest of them

joannablackwelder · Answer

Right, Ca is more reactive than Na so the reaction wouldn't take place.

Here is a link to a good reactivity chart to help you out. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/113129835/Activity-Series-of-Metals-and-Nonmetals-2

Li is higher on the chart than K, so the first reaction would also not take place.

so then its b

joannablackwelder · Answer

Yes, b would take place. :)
