Question

Distinguish between single and double replacement reactions and give an example of
each.

Answer 1

i think this is right!

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of a single replacement reaction occurs when potassium (K) reacts with water (H2O). A colorless solid compound named potassium hydroxide (KOH) forms, and hydrogen gas (H2) is set free. The equation for the reaction is: 2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H.

An example of a double replacement reaction is the reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride in water. Both silver nitrate and sodium chloride are ionic compounds. Both reactants dissolve into their ions in aqueous solution.
