The correct Answer is:
To identify the incorrect reactions from the given options, we will analyze each reaction based on the principles of displacement reactions and the reactivity series of metals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Reaction A: `Mg + CuSO4 → MgSO4 + Cu`** - Magnesium (Mg) is more reactive than copper (Cu). - In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its compound. - Here, Mg displaces Cu from CuSO4, forming MgSO4 and releasing Cu. - **Conclusion:** This reaction is correct. 2. **Analyze Reaction B: `Cu + 2AgNO3 → 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2`** - Copper (Cu) is less reactive than silver (Ag). - In a displacement reaction, a less reactive metal cannot displace a more reactive metal from its compound. - Here, Cu cannot displace Ag from AgNO3. - **Conclusion:** This reaction is incorrect. 3. **Analyze Reaction C: `3Cu + Al2(SO4)3 → 3CuSO4 + 2Al`** - Aluminum (Al) is more reactive than copper (Cu). - In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal. - Here, Al cannot be displaced by Cu because Al is more reactive. - **Conclusion:** This reaction is incorrect. 4. **Analyze Reaction D: `Fe + ZnSO4 → FeSO4 + Zn`** - Zinc (Zn) is more reactive than iron (Fe). - In a displacement reaction, a less reactive metal cannot displace a more reactive metal. - Here, Fe cannot displace Zn from ZnSO4. - **Conclusion:** This reaction is incorrect. ### Final Summary: - The incorrect reactions are **B, C, and D**. - The correct answer for the question is that reactions **B, C, and D** are incorrect.
