Question
Explain the following type of chemical reaction, giving two examples for it:
Displacement reaction
Solution
A displacement reaction occurs when a more active element displaces a less active element from a compound.
Examples:
- Zinc displaces copper from copper sulphate solution.
\[\ce{Zn + CuSO4_{(aq)} -> ZnSO4_{(aq)} + Cu}\] - Iron pieces when added to copper sulphate solution, copper is displaced.
\[\ce{Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu}\]
