Answer:

Single replacement reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Chemical reactions may be classified as replacement reactions, decomposition reactions, synthesis reactions, neutralization reactions, and precipitation reactions among others.
  • Replacement reactions are types of reactions in which a more reaction ion or element takes the place of the least reactive element in a compound.
  • A Single replacement reaction involves a single element taking the place of the least reactive element in a compound.
  • A double replacement reaction involves an exchange of cations and ions taking the place of each other in the initial compound.
  • In the above analogy, Kevin takes the place of Jack on the bench which shows how a single replacement reaction works.
