Question

For each of the following sets of reactants, write the balanced equation for the single displacement reaction 
that occurs. If you determine that a reaction will not occur, write “NR”, and provide a brief explanation. 

a. Aluminum metal + aqueous nickel(II) nitrate

b. Gold metal + hydrobromic acid

Example 1: magnesium metal + aqueous aluminum chloride
Since Mg is more active than Al, a single displacement reaction will occur. The
predicted products are aluminum metal and aqueous magnesium chloride
Reaction Equation: 3 Mg (s) + 2 AlCl3 (aq) → 2 Al (s) + 3 MgCl₂ (aq)
