Single+-+displacement

SINGLE - DISPLACEMENT A reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal A + BC --> B + AC Ex. Aluminum and Iron(III) Oxide react to form Aluminum Oxide and Iron to form formula, replace elements names with their symbol. Then replace "and" with "+" and "forming" with "=". Al + Fe2O3 --> AlO + Fe Balance by placing coefficient in front of the molecules. therefore =s 2Al + Fe2O3 --> Al2O3 + 2Fe
