Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Metals And Reactivity (Section 2 - No. 29)
Which of the following reactions is not an example of displacement reaction?
A more reactive metal replacing a less reactive metal from its salt solution.
A less reactive metal replacing a more reactive metal from its salt solution.
Zinc reacting with copper(II) sulfate to form zinc sulfate and copper.
Iron reacting with hydrochloric acid to form iron(II) chloride and hydrogen.
Explanation
Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one from its salt solution. Option 1 is correct, as a less reactive metal cannot replace a more reactive one.
