(a) Define a double displacement reaction.
(b) Write the chemical equation of a double displacement reaction which is also a (i) Neutralization reaction and (ii) Precipitation reaction. Give justification for your answer.
Solution
(a) Reactions in which there is an exchange of ions between the reactants.
(b) (i) *HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O (or any other reaction)
*Acid reacts with base forming salt and water.
(ii) *Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl (or any other reaction)
*Insoluble substance or precipitate (BaSO4) is formed.
