Question

Describe the characteristics of single replacement reaction, how it is identified, and what determines if this reaction will occur. Give an example in your response. (10 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, the reactants react with each other to produce two or more products.

A single replacement reaction is also sometimes called a single displacement reaction.

Explanation

A chemical reaction in which one element displaces another element from its compound is called a single substitution reaction or single substitution reaction.

A general reaction can be written as:- A + BC  $- >$AB + C

Example: 2HCl(aq) + Zn(s)  $- >$ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Conditions for each substitution reaction:-

• We Because only one more reactive element can replace the other from the compound, individual exchange reactions can be easily identified.
• Non-metals can always replace non-metals and metals with metals.
• The occurrence of a single exchange reaction can be predicted by comparing the reactivity of the elements with the electrochemical series.
