A double replacement reaction is a chemical reaction where two reactant ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new product compounds with the same ions.
This is the formula for a double replacement: AB + CD -----> AD + CD
These are the characteristic of a double replacement reaction:
- two ionic compounds for reactants
- two new ionic compounds for products
- formation of precipitate in reaction
- water could be one of the products
- same rule for replacement apply
- two ionic compounds for reactants
- two new ionic compounds for products
- formation of precipitate in reaction
- water could be one of the products
- same rule for replacement apply
