Chem problem help!

ok so it's asking to use the activity series to determine if the reaction will take place or not.. explain how you can tell?? thanks

ZnCl2(aq) + 2Na(s) ---> 2NaCl(aq) + Zn(s)

Most Active to least reactive:
Potassium
Sodium
Aluminum
Zinc
Copper

thanks!

CB What's picture

i have a d in chemistry so yea...............

yes it will because the sodium is more reactive than zinc so it takes it's spot to form NaCl and getting rid of ZnCl2

Maybe you make them to simplest form to get the ratio.
But Im not too sure
