Question

name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when magnesium chloride solution (MgCI2) to react with sodium carbonate solution (NaCO3) explain why aluminum (AI) would react with copper chloride (CuCI2) but not with magnesium chloride (MgCI2)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to give a reason for why one of the reactions might not occur

Generally, a metal that is above another in the electrochemical series will displace it from its salt

Now, Aluminum is higher than copper, thus, it would displace it (from CuCl2, a reaction will occur). However, Aluminum is lower than magnesium. Thus, it will not displace it from its salt (MgCl2 and no reaction will occur)
