Answer 1

All of these look ok to me with my only misgivings about 9. Technically, if I react Na metal with HCl, I get MgCl2 + H2 which looks to me as if a metal is replace a non-metal. And I can think of a number of redox reactions in which the metal is oxidized and the non-metal is reduced (although those may NOT be replacement reactions).
