Solution

Displacement reaction:– The chemical reaction in which one element takes the place of another element in a compound, is called as displacement reaction.e.g. –

(i) $F e (s) + C u S O_{4} (a q) \to F e S O_{4} (a q) + C u (s)$

(copper sulphate) (Iron sulphate)

(ii) $Z n (s) + C u S O_{4} (a q) \to Z n S O_{4} (a q) + C u (s)$

(copper sulphate) (Zinc sulphate)
