Question

What would the products of a double-replacement reaction between Na2S

and MgF2 be?
A. NaF and MgS
B. MgF and Nas
C. F2S and MgNa2
D. MgF2 and Nas

Answer 1

A. NaF and MgS

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

Na₂S + MgF₂ → 2NaF + MgS

The product of this reaction is NaF and MgS.

In a double displacement reaction there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds. This reaction takes place between ionic compounds.

The driving force for the reaction is:

• formation of an insoluble precipitate
• formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
• liberation of a gaseous product.
