Be sure to Balance each equation. It can be represented generically as: A + B-C → A-C + B. A displaces B in BC, resulting in the formation of a new element B and a new ionic compound or acid, AC. Use the periodic table, an activity series, or solubility rules to predict whether single-replacement reactions or double-replacement reactions will occur. It is also known as a single-replacement reaction. Zn + AgNO 3 3. A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction where one reactant is exchanged for one ion of a second reactant. CHEMISTRY SINGLE REPLACEMENT REACTION WORKSHEET Using the Activity Series Table, complete the following reactions by writing the products that are formed. Up to now, we have presented chemical reactions as a topic, but we have not discussed how the products of a chemical reaction can be predicted. 1. If No single replacement reaction occurs, write NR to the right of the arrow. Al + H 2 SO 4 4. A single displacement reaction which is also called as single replacement reaction is a kind of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an ion or element moves out of a compound, i.e., one element is replaced by the other in a compound. Cl 2 + KI 5. Ag + KNO 3 2. Single and Double Displacement Reactions For each of the reactions performed, -- predict the reaction type (single or double displacement) -- record your observations -- predict the names and states of the products formed -- write the balanced “molecular” equation, including all physical states. Single Displacement Reactions All single displacement reactions have the general form: A + BC → B + AC Here, A is an element and BC is usually an aqueous ionic compound or an acid (consisting of B+ and C-aqueous ions). Li + H 2 Single Displacement Reaction. Worksheet #4: Single-Replacement Reactions Step 1 - Write the formulas of the reactants on the left of the yield sign Step 2 - Look at the Activity Series on page 333 to determine if the replacement can happen Step 3 - If the replacement can occur, complete the reaction and balance it. 1. If the reaction This will most often occur if A is more reactive than B, thus giving a more stable product. Single displacement reactions take the form: A single-displacement reaction, is a chemical reaction in which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
