Use the periodic table to help answer this question.
Which shows the possible products of a single-replacement reaction?
chlorine and sodium
nickel and zinc chloride
potassium nitrate and lead iodide
To determine the possible products of a single-replacement reaction, you can look at the reactivity series of metals in the periodic table. A more reactive metal will replace a less reactive metal in a compound during a single-replacement reaction.
1. Chlorine is a halogen and highly reactive. When chlorine reacts with sodium, it will replace it in the compound. The possible products of this reaction are sodium chloride (NaCl).
2. Nickel is less reactive than zinc. When nickel reacts with zinc chloride, it will not replace zinc in the compound. Therefore, no reaction will occur in this case.
3. Potassium is more reactive than lead. When potassium nitrate reacts with lead iodide, potassium will replace lead in the compound. The possible products are potassium iodide (KI) and lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2).
So, the possible products of a single-replacement reaction are: sodium chloride, potassium iodide, and lead nitrate.
so is it a b c or d
Based on the possible products of a single-replacement reaction as determined in the previous explanation, the correct answer would be:
a) sodium chloride
