A single-displacement reaction, also known as asingle-replacement reaction, is a type of chemicalreaction<span> where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound. This type of </span>reaction<span> is typically pictured like this: Here, A replaces B in the compound BC.</span>
compound name compound formula elements present
water H2O hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)
ammonia NH3 nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H)
carbon monoxide CO carbon (C) and oxygen (O)
carbon dioxide CO2 carbon (C) and oxygen (O)
Scientists can measure the height in
different units but problem could arise when they compare all the measurements.
That is the reason there is standard units for measurements.
<span>There may be error arises when an
American scientist is measuring the height of an object in inches and other Australian
scientist is measuring the height of same object in meters. Their data cannot
be compared because they are using different units to measure height.</span>
