Name one compound that can be used in displacement reactions.

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for a specific example of a compound that can participate in displacement reactions. Displacement reactions typically involve the replacement of one element in a compound with another element. An example of such a compound could be zinc chloride or sodium chloride.

More Information

Displacement reactions involve a more reactive element displacing a less reactive element from a compound. Copper sulfate is commonly used to exemplify these reactions, where metals like iron can displace copper ions.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing single with double displacement reactions. Make sure to identify if one element replaces another or if there's an exchange of partners between compounds.
