Question

Which generalized equation represents a single displacement reaction?

Answer 1

Q+ZT -> Z+QT
hoping that's correct or are there any answer choices?

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option A which is $A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Explanation:

Single displacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which a more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series.

In this series, the metals which lie above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

General representation for these reactions is given by:

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

where, metal A is more reactive than metal B. Metal C is the anion.

This representation corresponds to Option A.

Option B: This equation represents the chemical reaction is a combination reaction in which two elements or compounds combine to form a single compound.

$A+B\rightarrow AB$

Option C: This equation represents the chemical reaction is a decomposition reaction in which a molecule breaks down into two or more smaller molecules.

$AB\rightarrow A+B$
