Question

The table shows the nature of reactants and products formed in a certain type of chemical reaction.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction. The chemical equation showing single displacement reaction follows:

$A+BC\rightarrow BA+C$

A is more reactive element than element C.

Non-metals are the elements which gain electrons to attain negative charge known as anions.

For the chemical reaction:

$\text{Non-metals}+\text{Ionic compound}\rightarrow \text{Non-metal}+\text{Ionic compound}$

As, non-metals are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus this means that anion in the chemical reaction are different.

For Example: The reaction of sodium bromide with chlorine gas, the equation follows:

$Cl_2+2NaBr\rightarrow 2NaCl+Br_2$

Hence, the correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.
