Lesson: Displacement Reactions Chemistry

Students will be able to

• define displacement reactions,
• write equations for displacement reactions of metals,
• compare the reactivities of metals, carbon, and hydrogen based on the outcomes of displacement reactions,
• identify the position of carbon and hydrogen in the reactivity series,
• predict the outcomes of a displacement reaction based on the reactivity series,
• predict and explain the changes observed during displacement reactions such as color or temperature changes,
• describe simple experiments to monitor displacement reactions.
