Is every Displacement reaction also a precipitation reaction?Elaborate with examples.

Open in App

Solution

All the Displacement reactions are not precipitation reaction..precipitate is an insoluble ionic compound formed after the reaction.
consider the following reaction
NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O
Products formed are H20 and NaCl.NaCl is a soluble ionic compound. there is no precipitate formed in this reaction though it is a displacement reaction.
