Single Replacement Reactions
1. Which of the following equations represents a single replacement reaction? Circle your choice.
a. Be(OH)2  BeO(s) + CO2(g)
b. Na(s) + HCl(l)  H2(g) + NaCl(aq)
c. H2 + Cl2  2 HCl
d. AgNO3(aq) + KI(aq)  AgI(s) + KNO3(aq)
2.
Use the activity series of Metals to decide if a reaction will occur.
a. Al(s) + NiSO4(aq)  Reaction will occur / No reaction (circle your choice)
b. Zn(s) + MgBr2(aq)  Reaction will occur / No reaction (circle your choice)
c. Li(s) + H2O(l)  Reaction will occur / No reaction (circle your choice)
