What is the difference between single displacement reaction double displacement reaction?
The difference between single displacement and double displacement reaction is as follows,
Single displacement reaction | Double displacement reaction |
A displacement reaction is one in which a more active element displace a less active element from its compound. | The reaction in which there is an exchange of ions between the reactants is called a double displacement reaction. |
The general reaction is, | The general reaction is, |
Example: Reaction between Zinc granules and Copper sulphate
The balenced chemical reaction is as follows, | Example: Reaction between Potassium iodide and Lead nitrate
The chemical reaction is as follows, |
