Question

A hockey player has the puck in the corner of the rink. An opposing player muscles him aside and emerge with the puck. This situation is most analogous to which kind of reaction?

Answer 1

Explanation:

When an element is displaced by another element in a compound then it is known as a single displacement reaction.

For example, $Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_{2} + H_{2}$ is a single displacement reaction.

Similarly when a hockey player has the puck in the corner of the rink. An opposing player muscles him aside and emerge with the puck displays that a single player is displacing a person.

Thus, we can conclude that this situation is most analogous to single displacement reaction.
