Q) Very long answer :
(i) Differentiate between precipitation and double displacement reactions.
(ii) Compare between double displacement reactions and displacement reactions also between decomposition and combination reactions.

Thank you !

Dear student,

(i) Precipitation reaction-

Those reactions in which one component neutralize the other component due to which salt is formed which get precipitate. Such reactions are called a precipitation reactions. For example:

Ca(OH)2  + HCl  → CaCl2 + 2H2O

Double displacement reaction- 

A Double Displacement Reaction is a bimolecular process in which parts of two compounds are exchanged to give two new compounds. The general equation used to represent double displacement reactions can be written as:

AB + CD → AD + BC

An example of the double displacement reaction is as follows

Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI ----> PbI2 + 2KNO3

Thus, double Displacement Reactions have two common features:

  • Firstly, two compounds exchange their ions resulting in the formation of new compounds.
  • Secondly, one of the new products formed would be separated from the mixture in some way (commonly as a solid or gas).
 (ii) Displacement reaction-

Displacement reactions are those in which an uncombined single element simply replaces the other in a compound. A general chemical equation for the reaction is   

AB + X -------> AX + B

For example-
Zn + CuSO4 -----> ZnSO4 + Cu

Double displacement reaction- 

A Double Displacement Reaction is a bimolecular process in which parts of two compounds are exchanged to give two new compounds. The general equation used to represent double displacement reactions can be written as:

AB + CD → AD + BC

An example of the double displacement reaction is as follows

Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI ----> PbI2 + 2KNO3
