Solution

The correct option is C

Simple displacement


Correct answer is option c) Simple displacement

Definition of Simple displacement reaction

When an element displaces another element in a compound is called simple displacement reaction.

  • When Zinc react with dilute sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas
  • Zn(s)+ H2SO4(aq) ZnSO4(s)+ H2(g)
  • Here zinc displaces, hydrogen from sulphuric acid

Explanation of incorrect answer

A) Double decomposition

It is a type of decomposition reaction in which products obtained by interchanging the ions of reactants.

For example

ZnSO4(aq)+ NaOH(aq) Zn(OH)2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq)

B) Direct synthesis

A reaction in which two or more simpler substances combine to form a compound is called direct synthesis

For example. Potassium and chlorine react to form potassium chloride

2K(s)+Cl2(g) 2KCl(s)

D) Neutralization

When an acid react with base, a salt and water is formed. This process is called neutralisation reaction

NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl(s) + H2O(l)

Base Acid Salt water

E) Decomposition by acid

When a compound dissociates into simpler substance is called Decomposition reaction

H2O(l) H2 (g)+O2(g)
