Single Replacement Reactions Worksheet 1. Using the activity series table answer the following questions: (a) list two metals that will react with Fe2+ ions __________ __________ (b) list two metals that will lose electrons to Pb2+ __________ __________ (c) list two ions that will take electrons from Zn __________ __________ (d) list two metals that will react with HCl __________ __________ (e) identify the best oxidizing agent (i.e. electron grabber) 2. Using the activity series, how do you decide if a reaction will or will not take place between two species? 3. Describe what you would see when a piece of Mg metal is placed in an aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that takes placed. 4. What would happen to a silver dollar when placed in a 3 M HCl solution? Justify your answer. 5. Given an ionic equation, how can you identify the spectator ions of a reaction? 6.
