Question

AB + CD = AC +B is it double displacement reaction

Answer 1

Dear student,

A Double Displacement Reaction is a bimolecular process in which parts of two compounds are exchanged to give two new compounds. The general equation used to represent double displacement reactions can be written as:

AB + CD → AC + BD

Thus, double Displacement Reactions have two common features:

• Firstly, two compounds exchange their ions resulting in the formation of new compounds.
• Secondly, one of the new products formed would be separated from the mixture in some way (commonly as a solid or gas).

Hence, the given reaction is of double displacement reaction.
