Question

Use your knowledge of the activity series of metals to complete a balanced chemical equation for the following single replacement reaction. Ag(s) KNO3 (aq) --> 0.25 Points AgNO3 K AgK NO3 AgKNO3 No reaction takes place because silver is less reactive than potassium.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Silver Ag is lower in the electrochemical series to Potassium K therefore the reaction will not take place. In a displacement reaction for a particular metal to displace another, the metal must be more reactive or higher in the electrochemical series such as potassium displacing Copper or Zinc in a displacement reaction because potassium is higher in the electrochemical series.

Answer 2

No reaction takes place because silver is less reactive than potassium.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached the activity series is shown . As can be seen, potassium is the most reactive element, therefore is not replaced by any other element.
