class 10 question answer Give an example of a double displacement reaction other than the one given in activity 1.10 (See in textbook).

solution : first of all we have to understand definition of double displacement reaction as follows –

Double displacement reaction : The reaction in which there is an exchange of ions between the reactants are called double displacement reaction and example of double displacement reaction is given below –

Calcium chloride + Aluminium sulphate → Calcium sulphate + Aluminium chloride

3CaCl2(aq) + Al2(SO4)3(aq) → 3CaSO4(aq) + 2AICI3 (aq)

Another example of double displacement reaction is given below –

Silver nitrate + Sodium chloride → Silver chloride + Sodium nitrate

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s)↓ + NaNO3 (aq)

Note – here (aq) , (s) are state of reactants and products , (aq) = aqueous , (s) = solid.
