What is double displacement reaction ?
Answers
A double-replacement reaction is a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds. The general form of a double-replacement (also called double-displacement) reaction is: AB+CD→AD+CB
Double displacement reactions generally take place in aqueous solutions in which the ions precipitate and there is an exchange of ions.
Some of the examples of double displacement reaction are as follows :-
- Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaCl (aq) ⇌ 2NaNO3 (aq) + PbCl2 (s)

- AgNO3 (aq) + HCl (g) ⇌ AgCl (s) + HNO3 (aq)

- H2SO4 (aq) + 2LiOH (aq) ⇌ Li2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
