To determine whether the reaction can occur, we can use the Activity Series of metals. The Activity Series ranks metals by their ability to displace other metals from solutions or compounds.
In this reaction:
- Iron (Fe) in Iron(II) hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) is being displaced by Manganese (Mn).
- Manganese is a less reactive metal compared to Iron.
Since the Activity Series shows that Iron is above Manganese, Iron cannot be displaced by Manganese. Therefore, the reaction:
Fe(OH)2 + Mn → Mn(OH)4 + Fe
will not occur.
The correct response is **No.**
