  1. Predicting the Product in Single Replacement Reactions • Using the Activity Series

  2. Introduction • In a single replacement reaction, the metal ion in a salt solution is replaced by another metal. AX(aq) + B(s) → BX(aq) + A(s) • For example: • Adding magnesium metal to a solution of silver chloride causes the magnesium to dissolve and the silver to precipitate out. 2 AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)

  3. Introduction • In a single replacement reaction, the halide in a salt solution is replaced by another halide. AX(aq) + Y2 → AY(aq) + X2 • For example: • Adding chlorine gas to a solution of sodium bromide causes the chlorine to dissolve and the bromine to come out as a liquid. 2 NaBr(aq) + Cl2(g) → 2 NaCl(aq) + Br2(l)

  4. Introduction • These kinds of reactions do not occur with all combinations of metals or halogens. • Some metals will replace some other metal ions in solution. • Some halogens will replace some other halogen ions in solution. • However, not every metal will replace every other metal ion in solution.

  5. Metals • The metals that replace other metal ions are said to be “more active” than the metals they replace. • For example, in the reaction 2 AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s) • The metal Mg is more active than the Ag+ ion. • By examining a series of reactions with solid metals and dissolved metal ions, we can build a list of metals based on activity. • We call this the “Activity Series.”

  6. Metals • The most active metal is Li followed by Rb, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, and Na. • Each of these metals react with cold water and acids, replacing H. 2 Li(s) + H2O(l) → Li2O(s) + H2(g) 2 K(s) + HCl(aq) → 2 KCl(aq) + H2(g)

  7. Metals • The most active metal is Li followed by Rb, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, and Na. • Each of these metals react with O2(g), forming oxides. 2 Ba(s) + O2(g) → 2 BaO(s) 2 Rb(s) + O2(g) → Rb2O(s)

  8. Metals • The next most active set of metals is Mg followed by Al, Mn, Zn, Cr, Fe, and Cd. • Each of these metals react with H2O(g) and acids, replacing hydrogen. Mg(s) + H2O(g) → MgO(s) + H2(g) Zn(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) → Zn(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)

  9. Metals • The next most active set of metals is Mg followed by Al, Mn, Zn, Cr, Fe, and Cd. • Each of these metals react with O2(g), forming oxides. 2 Zn(s) + O2(g) → 2 ZnO(s) 4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Fe2O3(s)

  10. Metals • The next most active set of metals is Co followed by Ni, Sn, and Pb. • None of these metals react with H2O (hot or cold). • They do react with acids, replacing hydrogen. Co(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) → Co(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g) Pb(s) + H2SO4(aq) → PbSO4(aq) + H2(g)

  11. Metals • The next most active set of metals is Co followed by Ni, Sn, and Pb. • Each of these metals react with O2(g), forming oxides. 2 Ni(s) + O2(g) → 2 NiO(s) 2 Sn(s) + O2(g) → 2 SnO(s)

  12. Metals • The next most active set of metals is Sb followed by Bi, Cu, and Hg. • None of these metals react with water or acids. • Each of these metals react with O2(g), forming oxides. 4 Sb(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Sb2O3(s) 2 Cu(s) + O2(g) → 2 CuO(s)

  13. Metals • The least active set of metals is Ag followed by Pt and Au. • These metals are fairly unreactive. • None of these metals react with water or acids. • None of these metals react directly with O2(g) to form oxides. • They will form oxides, but only indirectly.

  14. Metals • The Activity Series: most active increasing activity increasing activity increasing activity increasing activity increasing activity least active

  15. Halogens • The most active halogen is F2 followed by Cl2, Br2, and I2. • Each of these halogens are reactive with a wide variety of elements and compounds. • The activity series just shows which is most reactive and least reactive.

  16. Halogens most active • The Activity Series: F2 Cl2 Br2 I2 increasing activity least active

  17. Using the Activity Series • The activity series is used to predict whether or not a single replacement reaction will occur. • First, we look at the ions in a solution. • Next, we look at the metal or halogen being added to the solution. • If the metal is higherup on the activity series list, then it goes into solution and the metal ion in solution precipitates out. • If the metal is lowerdown on the activity series list, then there is no reaction.

  18. Using the Activity Series • The activity series is used to predict whether or not a single replacement reaction will occur. • First, we look at the ions in a solution. • Next, we look at the metal or halogen being added to the solution. • If the halogen is higherup on the activity series list, then it goes into solution and the halide ion in solution comes out as a solid, liquid, or gas. • If the halogen is lowerdown on the activity series list, then there is no reaction.

Summary • The activity series is used to predict whether or not a single replacement reaction will occur. • First, we look at the ions in a solution. • Next, we look at the metal or halogen being added to the solution. • If the metal is higher up on the activity series list, then it goes into solution and the metal ion in solution precipitates out. • If the metal is lower down on the activity series list, then there is no reaction.
