Single and Double Displacement

Cards (4)

  • in single displacement, the equation goes like: A+BC --> AB+C
  • single displacement reactions always contain an ionic compound and a metal, and the positive ion is always the one which is replaced
  • single displacement can also occur when placing a metal in an acid and it replaces the hydrogen in the acid, which gets released as gas
  • in double displacement, the equation goes like: AB+CD --> AD+BC
