What is displacement reaction?
ANSWER -
Displacement reaction may be defined as reaction in which highly active species displace less active species from its compounds.
Single displacement : This is when one element trades places with another element in a compound.
These reactions come in the general form of:
A + BC ---> AC + B
One example of a single displacement reaction is when magnesium replaces hydrogen in water to make magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:
Double displacement : This is when the anions and cations of two different molecules switch places, forming two entirely different compounds.
These reactions are in the general form:
AB + CD ---> AD + CB
One example of a double displacement reaction is the reaction of lead (II) nitrate with potassium iodide to form lead (II) iodide and potassium nitrate:
