Study Notes
- Double displacement reactions involve the exchange of one component from each of the reacting molecules to form the products.
- During a double displacement reaction, the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places.
- A general equation represents a double displacement reaction: AB + CD -> AD + CB.
- Double displacement reactions usually occur in aqueous solutions.
- These reactions involve the precipitation of ions and exchange of ions.
- Mixing barium chloride with sodium sulphate immediately forms a white precipitate of barium sulphate.
- Dissolving reactants in water results in ions exchanging, forming product molecules.
- Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) -> BaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
Types of Double Displacement Reactions
- Double displacement reactions are classified as neutralization, precipitation, and gas formation.
- Neutralization reactions are a specific type of double displacement reaction.
- Acid-base reactions result in the formation of salt (neutral in nature) and water.
- Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution or inside another solid.
- Precipitation occurs when the concentration of dissolved ions exceeds the solubility product.
- Example precipitation reactions include:
- AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq) -> AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)
- BaCl₂(aq) + CuSO₄(aq) -> BaSO₄(s) + CuCl₂(aq)
- A double displacement reaction can occur if an insoluble gas is formed.
- Gases like HCl and NH₃ are soluble in water, while gases like H₂S are not.
