Predicting and Balancing Single-Replacement Reactions
Single-replacement reactions involve reacting a lone element (usually a metal) with a compound, resulting in the cations switching places. Students will learn to use the activity series for the first time as part of this worksheet, as they identify when reactions will and will not occur. Students will need to copy of an activity series chart to be able to complete this assignment
Essential concepts: Chemical reactions, single replacement reactions, balancing equations, predicting products, oxidation state.
