Question

Which equation represents single replacement reaction? A) CH4 + 2 02 → CO2 + 2 H2O B) CaCO3 + CaO + CO2 C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2 D) LiOH + HCl → LiCl + H2O​

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reactions, it is possible to firstly understand that a single displacement reaction is characterized by the presence of a single element as the first reactant and a compound as the second one, thus, yielding a compound as the first product and a single element as the second one.

In such a way, according to the given choices, it possible to note that C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2 is the only one with the aforementioned condition as the element at the reactants side is Na and at the products side is H2.

Best regards!
