Single+Replacement+I

Station 1 A+ BX --> AX+B __Examples__ Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) -> 2 Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) In this equation copper replacing the silver nitrate. The copper is more active than silver on the activity series. ZN(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> 2 H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) In this equation the zinc is dipped into an acid. The zinc will replace hydrogen. Because zinc is more active then hydrogen on the activity series. __Web Sites __  [|www.wikipedia.com] []

The type of single replacement reaction is replacement of hydrogen in an acid by a more active metal. How we were able to determine that hydrogen was a product in the reaction was when the stick was on fire and when it was placed in front of the hole in the stopper the flame puffed out(extinguished).
