What is a displacement reaction give example |
|
Answer» Single Displacement ReactionsSingle displacement reactions are reactions where ONE reactant replaces part of the other:AB + C → AC + BAN example is the reaction between iron and copper sulfate to produce iron sulfate and copper:Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + CuHere, both iron and copper have the same valence. One metal cation takes the place of the other, bonding to the sulfate anion.Double Displacement ReactionsDouble displacement reactions are reactions where the cations and anions in the reactants switch partners to form products:AB + CD → AD + CBAn example is the reaction between silver NITRATE and sodium chloride to form silver chloride and sodium nitrate:AGNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3 |
