c)
KCl(aq)

Answer 1

Single Displacement Reaction: a reaction in which an element is swapped for another in a molecule

A + BC ---> AC + B

Double Displacement Reaction: a reaction in which the cation of one molecule is swapped with a cation of another molecule

AB + CD ---> AD + CB

a) Single Displacement Reaction

3 Ca + 2 AlBr₃ ----> 3 CaBr₂ + 2 Al

b) Single Displacement Reaction

2 Al + 3 MgSO₄ ----> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 Mg

c) Double Displacement Reaction

AgNO₃ + KCl ----> AgCl + KNO₃
