Formula and explanation

In the metal reactivity series, a more reactive metal (except K, Ca, Na, which react with water first) can displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. General reaction formula: M₁ + M₂A ightarrow M₂ + M₁A ( M₁ is more reactive than M₂ ). Example: Fe + CuSO₄ ightarrow Cu + FeSO₄.
