A single replacement reaction (single displacement reaction). The generic form is: A +BC-->B+AC.
For example:
2Al+3CuSO4-->3Cu+Al2(SO4)3
The more reactive aluminum replaced the copper in the copper sulfate compound. An activity series indicates which elements will replace other elements. You can find activity series online.

What is it called when a more reactive metal replace a less reactive metal in a compound?
it displaces the less reative metal and replaces it.
If copper displaces silver from silver nitrate will silver displace copper ll nitrate?
No, copper replaces silver because it is more reactive than silver, and therefore more stable in a compound.
What happens in a single-replacement reaction-?
One element takes the place of another in a compound.
What is 4 categories of chemical reaction?
The four categories of chemical reactions are synthesis (combining two or more substances to form a new compound), decomposition (breaking down a compound into simpler substances), single replacement (one element replaces another in a compound), and double replacement (exchange of ions between two compounds).
An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom replaces the hydrogen of an acid is known as a?
its A
What term describes a more reactive element taking the place of a less reactive element?
The more reactive substance is known as a catalyst.
What chemical change occurs when more reactive substance replaces a less reactive substance in a compound?
reduction or oxidation example: (this isn't a real reaction) ClO + CS4 --> CO + ClS4 the chorine has been reduced, because the carbon is more reactive the carbon has been oxidised, because it is more reactive oxidation = the addition of oxygen reduction = the subtraction of oxygen
What chemical change occurs when a more reactive substance replaces a less reactive substance in a compound?
It is a single replacement (displacement) reaction.For example: Does the following reaction occur?Al(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> Al2(SO4)3(aq) + Cu(s)According to the metal reactivity series, aluminum is above copper on the list, so it is more reactive and will replace (displace) copper in the copper sulfate solution. So this reaction will occur.
What is it called when a more reactive metal replace a less reactive metal in a compound?
it displaces the less reative metal and replaces it.
Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?
it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.
When does displacement reaction occur?
When one element replaces another element in a compound during a chemical reaction
What is a chemical reaction in which an uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound?
single replacement :)
What element of chemical reaction happens when one element replaces another element in a compound?
Single-displacement reaction
What nonliving waterproof substance replaces the stratum corneum?
Keratin is the nonliving waterproof substance that replaces the stratum corneum.
If copper displaces silver from silver nitrate will silver displace copper ll nitrate?
No, copper replaces silver because it is more reactive than silver, and therefore more stable in a compound.
What happens in a single-replacement reaction-?
One element takes the place of another in a compound.
When would a displacement reaction cause no reaction?
Displacement reactions happen when one element or ion is more reactive than another in the same solution and replaces it in a compound. This will happen if the elements displacing each other are different metals or are halogens .
