(04.03 MC) The table shows the nature of the reactants and products formed in a certain type of chemical reaction.

Nature of Reactants and Products

Reactants

lonic compound + lonic compound

Products

lonic compound + lonic compound

Which of the following is true about this type of chemical reaction?

It is a single replacement reaction, and all four compounds are different.

It is a double replacement reaction, and all four compounds are different.

It is a single replacement reaction, and each compound has the same set of ions.

It is a double replacement reaction, and each compound has the same set of ions.

The given type of chemical reaction is a double replacement reaction, and each compound has the same set of ions.

Explanation:

When two different compounds chemically react with each other and their ions get exchanged with each other then it leads to the formation of two new compounds. This type of reaction is called double displacement reaction.

For example,

Here, both KBr and are ionic compounds that leads to the formation of two new ionic compounds which are and AgBr.

Thus, we can conclude that the given type of chemical reaction is a double replacement reaction, and each compound has the same set of ions.
