The double replacement reaction
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction if Na₂S + HCl
Required
Type of reaction
Solution
The double replacement reaction occurs when there is a displacement of the cations and anions of the reactants involved in the reaction to form two new compounds.
The general formula for this reaction :
AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB
At the bottom of the reaction, it is shown the number of atoms of each compound in the reactants and products which indicates the application of <em>the law of conservation of mass</em>, that the number of atoms in the reactants will be the same as the number of atoms in the product, so the reaction is said to be in a balanced state.
Answer:
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. the number of protons define the identity of an element

Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Scandium (II)
Cl
<u>Step 2: Determine Charges</u>
Sc²⁺
Cl⁻
<u>Step 3: Predict Compound</u>
<em>We need to balance out the charges so the overall charge is 0.</em>
ScCl₂
<u>Step 4: Reaction</u>
RxN: Sc²⁺ + Cl₂ → ScCl₂
