Q.14. Metallic oxides of zinc, magnesium and copper were heated with the following metals.
Metal | Zinc | Magnesium | Copper |
Zinc oxide | |||
Magnesium oxide | |||
Copper oxide |
In which cases will you find displacement reactions taking place?
The reactivity order of the given elements are : Mg > Zn > Cu
Thus following result is observed :
Metal | Zinc | Magnesium | Copper |
Zinc oxide | No reaction | Displacement | No reaction |
Magnesium oxide | No reaction | No reaction | No reaction |
Copper oxide | Displacement | Displacement | No reaction |
