Explain: HONORS: On the back, write molecular, complete ionic, net ionic equations for one single and one double eplacement. Include states of matter (subscripts (s).(, (g) or (a))Explanation / Answer
1.
a.
3 CoCl2 + 2 K3PO4 --> 6 KCl + Co3(PO4)2
Since potassium is more reactive than cobalt, this will be a double displacement reaction.
b.
Mg + K3PO4 --> No reaction
Since magnesium is less reactive than potassium, there will be no reaction.
c.
Mg + CuCl2 --> MgCl2 + Cu
Since magnesium is more reactive than copper, this will be a single displacement reaction.
d.
Mg + CoCl2 --> MgCl2 + Co
Since magnesium is more reactive than cobalt, this will be a single displacement reaction.
e.
CoCl2 + CuCl2 --> No reaction
Since both cations contain the same anion (Cl), there will be not net reaction.
f.
3 CuCl2 + 2 K3PO4 --> 6 KCl + Cu3(PO4)2
Since potassium is more reactive than copper, this will be a double displacement reaction.
2.
Based on the above observations, magnesium is found to be more reactive than cobalt.
Therefore, in the activity series cobalt would be placed below magnesium.
