Explain the types of double displacement reactions with examples.
When , if their ions are interchanged, the reaction is called a double displacement reaction.
Double displacement reaction is further classified as follows:
a. Precipitation reactions
b. Neutralization reactions
b. Neutralization reactions
Precipitation reactions:
When of two compounds are mixed, if they react to form , it is called a precipitation reaction.
Example:
Neutralization reactions:
The reaction between an acid and a base result in the formation of is called a neutralisation reaction. This is another type of displacement reaction in which both acid and base neutralise each other.
Example:
