Question

Complete the following equations (note that the equations are not balanced). Use the activity series if necessary.

An activity series, listed as most reactive to least reactive: Upper L i, Upper K, Upper B a, Upper S r, Upper C a, Upper N a, Upper M g, Upper A l, Upper M n, Upper Z n, Upper C r, Upper F e, Upper C d, Upper C o, Upper N i, Upper S n, Upper P b, Upper H, Upper S b, Upper B i, Upper C u, Upper A g, Upper P d, Upper H g, Upper P t, Upper A u.

Al + AgCl Upper N a upper C l subscript 2 right arrow. ?

Answer 1

Al displaces Ag (Al is above Ag in the activity series), forming AlCl3 and Ag:

Al + 3 AgCl → AlCl3 + 3 Ag

(Reaction is balanced as written.)
