Which of the following reactions will not occur as written? Which of the following reactions will not occur as written? Zn (s) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) → Pb (s) + Zn(NO3)2 (aq) Co (s) + 2AgCl (aq) → 2Ag (s) + CoCl2 (aq) Co (s) + 2HI (aq) → H2 (g) + CoI2 (aq) Sn (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2Ag (s) + Sn(NO3)2 (aq) Mg (s) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) → Ca (s) + Mg(OH)2 (aq)
Mg is less reactive then Ca( according to reactivity series). So, it cannot displace Ca.
But as describe in the last equation it displaces Ca heence that reaction is not possible.
Mg(s) + Ca(OH)2(aq) = Ca(s) + Mg(OH)2(aq)
All other reaction are possible.
