    Double-Displacement Reaction Study Guide

    A double-displacement reaction occurs when the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds switch places to form two entirely new compounds. For example, when ammonium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide, they undergo a double-displacement reaction where sodium chloride and ammonium hydroxide are formed. There are two types of double-displacement reactions: precipitation reactions where one product is insoluble, and neutralization reactions between acids and bases which form a salt and gas.

    Double-Displacement

    Reaction Study Guide


    Ammonium chloride sodium hydroxide react to form ammonium
    hydroxide and sodium chloride as products. This is an example of
    a double-displacement reaction.

    In chemistry, there are multiple terms used to describe a reaction based


    on the nature of its reactants. When one of the reactants is a salt (for
    example the reaction between sodium hydroxide and ammonium
    chloride), the reaction is termed a salt metathesis reaction. When one of
    the reactants doesn’t dissolve in the solvent, the reaction is termed a
    double decomposition reaction.

    A double-displacement reaction occurs


    when the positive and negative ions of
    two ionic compounds switch places to
    form two entirely new compounds in
    an aqueous solution. These compounds
    can come in the form of precipitates,
    gasses, or molecular compounds.

    The general form of a double-displacement reaction is described by the


    following equation:
    AB + CD = AD + BC

    TYPES OF DOUBLE-DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS

    There are two types of double displacement reactions: precipitation and


    neutralization.

     Precipitation reaction: In a precipitation reaction, the ions of the


    reactants compound interchange to form new compounds.
    However, one of the compounds in these reactions is insoluble in
    the solvent.
     Neutralization reaction: Neutralization reactions occur between
    acids and bases and form a salt and a gas. For a neutralization
    reaction to move in a forward direction, the acids and bases
    involved must be strong.

    TIPS FOR RECOGNIZING A DOUBLE-


    DISPLACEMENT REACTION

    Let’s take a look at some pointers that will help you identify a double-
    displacement reaction:

     The first thing you should see in a reaction is whether the anions
    and cations of reactants are being exchanged. You can do this by
    taking note of the products that are formed.
     You can also identify a double-displacement reaction through the
    state of matter of its reactants. If the reactants are in an aqueous
    solution, and a precipitate is formed as one of the products, the
    reaction is a double-displacement reaction.

    DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION EXAMPLES

    Let’s look at some common double-displacement reactions:

     Sodium hydroxide (a base) reacts with ammonium chloride (salt)


    to form sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, and water.

     NaOH + NH₄Cl = NaCl + NH₄OH

     Silver nitrate reacts with sodium chloride to form silver chloride


    and sodium nitrate.

    AgNO₃ + NaCl = AgCl + NaNO₃

    CONCLUSION

     A double-displacement reaction occurs when the positive and


    negative ions of two ionic compounds switch places to form two
    entirely new compounds.
     A double-displacement reaction must occur in an aqueous solution.
     The compounds formed in a double-displacement reaction can
    come in the form of precipitates, gasses, or molecular compounds.
     A general formula for a double-displacement reaction is written as:
    AB + CD = AD + BC.
     Examples of double-displacement reactions include:
     Sodium hydroxide (a base) reacts with ammonium chloride (salt)
    to form sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, and water.
     NaOH + NH₄Cl = NaCl + NH₄OH

     Silver nitrate reacts with sodium chloride to form silver chloride


    and sodium nitrate.
     AgNO₃ + NaCl = AgCl + NaNO₃

     A precipitation reaction is a form of double-displacement reaction


    where one of the products is insoluble in the solvent.
     A neutralization reaction is a form of double-displacement reaction
    that takes place between acids and bases.
