Displacement reaction and double displacement reaction
Answers
Answer:
Displacement reaction: Chemical reaction in which one reactant is being displaced by another reactant to obtain the ion .There is only single exchange of ion taking place.
Example:
Zn+2HCl=ZnCl2+H2
In this zinc replaces hydrogen and forms zinc chloride
Double Displacement reaction: Chemical reaction in which two reactants exchanges each other ions to form new compounds.
Example: AgNO3+NaCl=AgCl+NaNO3
In this exchange of ions is taking place between Ag &Na.
Na replaces Ag to form NaNO3 and Ag takes place of Na and forms NaCl.
Those reactions in which is more reactive element displaces with less reactive elements from its compound. Such reaction is called as displacement reaction.
Ex- Fe + CuS04 FeSO4 + Cu
In this reaction, iron has displaced copper from copper sulphate solution.
The reaction to which there is exchange of Ions between the reactants are called as double displacement reaction.
Ex- Na2SO4 + BaCl2 BaSO4 + 2NaCl
In this case, the white precipitate of BaSO4 is formed by the reaction of
and . The other product formed is sodium chloride which remains in the solution.
