Question

3 fill in the blank 1 point use the activity series of metals to decide if a reaction will occur. zn(s) + mgbr₂(aq) → choose your answer... choose your answer... reaction will occur no reaction

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the activity series of metals

The activity series of metals lists metals in order of their reactivity. Magnesium (Mg) is more reactive than zinc (Zn).

Step2: Analyze the reaction possibility

In a single - displacement reaction \(Zn(s)+MgBr_{2}(aq)\), for zinc to displace magnesium from \(MgBr_{2}\), zinc should be more reactive than magnesium. But since \(Mg>Zn\) in the activity series, zinc cannot displace magnesium from its salt solution.

Answer:

no reaction
