Predict the products of the following reaction:
2 answers:
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Displacement reaction is a reaction in which a more reactive element displaces less reactive element.
When there is displacement of two elements in a chemical reaction then this type of reaction is known as double displacement reaction.
For example,
In this reaction Cl is displaced by and Li is displaced by Mg. So, it is a double-displacement reaction.
