The document discusses displacement reactions between magnesium, copper, silver, and their chlorides. It states that magnesium will displace copper from copper chloride because magnesium is more reactive than copper. However, silver will not displace magnesium from magnesium chloride because silver is less reactive than magnesium. The document also mentions that displacement reactions can be used to extract metals like iron and copper from their oxide ores by reacting with carbon.

7. Displacement in extracting metals
Displacement reactions can
be used to extract metals
from their ores.
For example, iron and
copper are extracted from
their oxides by reacting the
ores with carbon:
