Redox Reactions & the Activity Series

 Directions:  Using the activity series in your notes, determine if the following single replacement reactions will occur.  If no, simply write “NR” for No Reaction.  If the reaction will occur, then:  (1) predict the products of the reaction;  (2) balance the reaction;  (3) identify the substances oxidized and reduced;  (4) identify the oxidising and reducing agents;  and (5) write the oxidation and reduction half reactions.

1)      Zn_(s)  +  KF_(aq)   ?  

2)      I_2(g)  +  KBr_(aq)   ?          

3)      Ca_(s)  +  Mg(OH)_2(aq)   ?  

4)      Na_(s)  +  CaI_2(aq)   ?  

5)      Cl_2(s)  +  NaBr_(aq)   ?  

6)      Mg_(g)  +  KI_(aq)   ?          

7)      Cu_(s)  +  AgOH_(aq)   ?  

(copper here is copper (II) )

8)      Co_(s)  +  Ni(NO₃)_2(aq)   ?  

(cobalt here is cobalt (III) )
