PROBLEM 24Q
Explain the difference between a single-displacement reaction and a double-displacement reaction and provide an example of each.
Solution 24Q
Single displacement reaction happens when one element displaces another in a compound and only one exchange occurs
Eg.Zn +2NaNO3--------->Zn(NO3)2+2Na
Double displacement reaction occurs when two elements(or groups of elements), in two different compounds exchange places to form new compounds
Eg AgNO3+NaCl --------->AgCl+NaNO3
