Define displacement reaction. Give one example.
Answers
Explanation:
A reaction in which strongest element displaces the other element is called displacement reaction
A+B=CD
If A is stronger
then A+B=AD+C
hope it helps you
☛ Those reactions in which one element takes the place of another element in a compound are known as displacement reaction.
for example:-
When a strip of zinc metal is placed in copper sulphate Solution ,then zinc sulphate Solution and copper are obtained:
☛ This reaction takes place because zinc is more reactive than copper.
☛ Double displacement reaction:-Those reaction in which two compounds react by an exchange of ions to form two new compounds are called double displacement reaction.
For example:-
When silver nitrate Solution is added to sodium chloride Solution ,then a white precipitate of silver chloride is formed along with sodium Nitrate Solution.
