Given the reaction:

Mg(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq)--> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)

Which type of reaction is represented?

(1) single replacement (3) synthesis

(2) double replacement (4) decomposition

Verified Answer :

reaction: Mg(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
Which type of reaction is represented?

double replacement



double replacement a bimolecular process involving the exchange of bonds between the two reacting chemical species, which
results in the creation of products with
similar or identical bonding affiliations.
To illustrate, consider two chemical species, AB and CD, which react to give AD and CB:

AB + CD → AD + CB

Answer: (1) single replacement

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.Thus magnesium can easily lose electrons as compared to silver and result in the formation of magnesium nitrate and silver.

\(Mg(s)+2AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)+2Ag(s)\)

Double displacement is a chemical reaction in which ion exchange takes place.

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants combine to give a single product.

Decomposition is a chemical reaction in which one substance decompose to give two or more than two products.
