Which among the following is(are) double displacement reaction(s)?

(i) Pb + CuCl 2 → PbCl 2 + Cu

(ii) Na 2 SO 4 + BaCl 2 → BaSO 4 + 2NaCl

(iii) C + O 2 → CO 2

(iv) CH 4 + 2O 2 → CO 2 + 2H 2 O

(A) (i) and (iv) 

(B) (ii) only

(C) (i) and (ii) 

(D) (iii) and (iv)

 

Answer

A double displacement reaction is the one in which the two reacting species exchange their ions

 

Let’s look at all the options

  1. (i) is an example of a single displacement reaction as only one ion is being exchanged.
  2. (ii) is an example of a double displacement reaction because both of the reacting compounds are exchanging ions.
  3. (iii) is an example of combination reaction because two substances are combining to form a single product.
  4. (iv) is a redox reaction where CH 4 is getting oxidized and O 2 is getting reduced.

 

So, the correct answer is (b) (ii) only
