Reactivity Series KS3 - Worksheet (Answers)
1. Put the following metals in order of reactivity.
Iron, potassium, copper, zinc, lead, calcium, magnesium, sodium, gold
potassium Most reactive
sodium
calcium
magnesium
zinc
iron
lead
copper
gold Least reactive
2. Complete the equations

a. metal + oxygen → metal oxide
b. metal + water → metal hydroxide + hydrogen
c. metal + acid → salt + hydrogen
3. What is formed when magnesium burns in air?
It forms magnesium oxide
4. What happens when copper is put into a beaker of water?
nothing happens, copper is not reactive enough to react with water
5. How do you test for hydrogen gas?
Test for hydrogen gas with a lit spill, a positive result is a squeaky pop
6. What is formed when sodium reacts with hydrochloric acid?
sodium chloride (salt) and hydrogen
7. How should metals more reactive than carbon be extracted from their ores?
By electrolysis

8. Why is gold used in jewelry?
It’s very unreactive, so won’t react with your skin
9. What is the rule for displacement reactions
A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from a compound
10. Tick which reactions would happen
copper Magnesium zinc
copper sulfate ✓ ✓
Magnesium x x
sulfate
Zinc Sulfate x ✓
11. Using the reaction from Q10. Choose 1 reaction you’ve ticked and explain why it
happens. Choose 1 reaction you haven’t ticked and explain why it doesn’t happen.
The ticked reaction happen, as the metal is more reactive than the metal in the
compound so a displacement reaction takes place.
The reactions with the crosses do not happen, as the metal is less reactive than the
metal in the compound so can’t displace it.
12. Write word and symbol equations for the first reaction from Q11.
Copper sulfate + Magnesium → magnesium sulfate + copper

CuSO4 +
Mg → MgSO4 + Cu
copper sulfate + Zinc → zinc sulfate + copper

CuSO4 +
Zn → ZnSO4 + Cu
zinc sulfate + magnesium → magnesium sulfate + zinc

ZnSO4 + Mg → MgSO4 + Zn
