Question

Mg(s)+Ni(NO3)2(aq)

Select all that apply

-no reaction occurred

-double displacement

-endothermic

-exothermic

-gas production

-neutralization

-precipitation

-redox

-simple displacement

Answer 1

Mg(s) + Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) ==> Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Ni(s) ... balanced equation

-exothermic - single displacements are exothermic and Mg is more reactive than Ni so the reaction happens

-redox - Mg is oxidized and Ni is reduced

-simple displacement - single displacement because Mg displaces Ni
