Question

What is the generic equation for a double replacement reaction?

  1. AB + CD → AD + CB
  2. AB + CD → DA + CB
  3. AB + CD → A + BC
  4. AB + CD → D + CBA

hintHint:

AB + CD rightwards arrow AD + CB

The correct answer is: AB + CD → AD + CB


    The word displace means to push out. A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element out of its compound during a chemical reaction, this reaction is termed as displacement reaction.
    Double displacement reaction can be termed as when two displacements take place in a reaction.
    The generic equation for a double replacement reaction:
    AB + CD rightwards arrow AD + CB
    Here B is replaced by D and D is replaced by B. AD & CB, two completely new compounds are formed.
