Answer:

double replacement

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction shown is a double replacement reaction.

It is also known as double decomposition or metathesis reaction.

In such a reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

One of the following is the driving force for such reaction:

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