Explanation
This question assesses the student's understanding of displacement reactions and their ability to write balanced equations. It requires knowledge of the reactants and the products formed, demonstrating their grasp of chemical reactions involving metals.
Common mistake
Incorrect Balancing of Equations
Students often forget to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the equation when writing balanced symbol equations for metal displacement reactions.
To fix this, always count the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation and adjust coefficients to ensure they are equal.
