Question

Sodium chloride reacts with copper sulfate to produce sodium sulfate and copper chloride. mc011-1.jpg This equation represents a synthesis reaction. decomposition reaction. single replacement reaction. double replacement reaction.

Answer 1

This is a double replacement because both Copper and Sodium reacted with each other compounds , hence "double"

Answer 2

The reaction  represented  when sodium chloride  reacts with copper sulfate to produce sodium sulfate and copper chloride  is   a double  replacement  reaction.

Explanation

A   double replacement  reaction  is type of chemical reaction  where two compound react and a positive  ions   and negative ions of the two  reactant  switch places  forming new  compound.

The reaction of sodium chloride + Copper  sulfate →  sodium sulfate  + copper chloride  is a double replacement reaction because;

•    sodium  since  it  is a more  reactive metal than copper it  replaces copper  from  it's compound  which result to formation of new products( sodium sulfate and copper chloride)
