Question

What is the type of reaction described: Aqueous lithium iodide and aqueous silver nitrate react to produce solid silver iodide and aqueous lithium nitrate.

A.) Single Replacement
B.) Double Replacement
C.) Synthesis
D.) Decomposition
E.) Combustion

Answer 1

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction being described is double displacement. This is because two diffetent compounds react to initially "switch" places with the other. In this case, iodine takes nitrates place, and lithium takes silvers place it's a way of thinking about it. This creates two completely different compounds.
