Question

2zns(s)+3o2(g)—>2zno(s)+2so2(g)

Answer 1

This is an example of displacement reaction

Explanation:

• The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.

                                AB + C -----> AC +B

                        2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2

• This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.

• In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.
