BeSO₄ + 2NH₄OH → Be( OH)₂ + (NH₄)₂SO₄

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

BeSO₄ + 2NH₄OH → Be( ...)₂ + (NH₄)₂SO₄

Required

The products

Solution

There are two possible displacement reactions

Single replacement if one element replaces or reduces another element in the compound and forms a new compound

A + BC ⇒ AC + B

Double replacement if both the cations and anions of the two compounds in the reactant swap positions to form 2 new compounds in the product

AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB

Thus, the product is Be(OH)₂
