Would the following reaction be successful in displacing H₂? Which is the best answer Mg(s) + 2 H₂O (1)→ Mg(OH)2 (s) + H₂(g) No because Mg is above H₂ in the activity series O Yes because Mg is above H₂ in the activity series O Mg can only replace H₂ under acidic conditions. O No because Mg can replace H₂ under H₂O(g) but not H₂O(l) O Yes Mg is so much farther up the chart that the conditions do not matter.
