The beakers in the picture above are labeled according to the ionic solutions they contain. What metal or metals could replace copper in the copper(II) nitrate solution?

Explanation:

When a metal replaces another metal in solution, we say such a reaction has undergone a single displacement reaction.

In such a reaction, metal higher up in the activity series replaces another one due to their position.

To known the metal or metals that will replace the given copper, we need to reference the activity series of metals.

Every metal higher than copper in the series will displace copper from the solution.

So, there metals are: potassium, sodium, lithium, barium, strontium etc.

the potential energy of the reactants is 200j.

from the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350j; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.

1 is the answer to this problem
