Question

What kind of chemical reactions are represented by the following equation:
X+ YZ = XZ + Y

Answer 1

Answer :

Displacement reaction.

Explanation :

The reaction in which a high reactive element displaces the low reactive element is known as displacement reaction.

And in the given equation : X + YZ → XZ + Y

Here, X is more reactive element which displaces the low reactive element Y, and combines with high reactive element.

Let's take an example,

CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4 + Cu

Here, Iron ( Fe ) is more reactive than copper ( CU ), so it displaces the copper and combines with sulphate ion.

Answer 2

Answer:

${\underline{\boxed{\sf\green{Displacement\: reaction }}}}$

Explanation:

$\sf\purple{Displacement\: reaction:-}$

Displacement reaction is such a chemical reaction in which one or more element replaces one/more elements in a compound and takes the position of that element by combining with other element (which was not replaced from the compound).

It happens generally :-

$\star$ If the first element is more reactive than the replaced element,then the first element gives a more stable product in the compound.

Given equation:-

X + YZ → XZ + Y

In this equation, X replaces the position of Y and makes Y a single element.And X combines with Z and makes a compound → XZ.

More displacement reaction examples:-

$\star\sf Fe + Cu{SO}_{4}→Fe{SO}_{4} + CU$

$\star\sf NaOH + Ca{Br}_{2}→NaBr + Ca{(OH)}_{2}$
