Question

Which generalized equation represents a double displacement reaction?

A. A + BC → AC + B
B. AC +BD → AD + BC
C.AB → A + B

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which there occurs interchange of both positive and negative ions of the reacting species.

For example,
`AC + BD \rightarrow AD + BC`

Here, negative ion that is C and D interchange their places with each other resulting in the formation of two new compounds.

Therefore, we can conclude that the equation
`AC + BD \rightarrow AD + BC` is the generalized equation which represents a double displacement reaction.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The generalized equation that represents a double displacement reaction would be AC +BD → AD + BC. This reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.
