Thank you so much , I was looking around from so long for clear explanation of this but everywhere it was just bookish explanation, I think this is the only person knowing the concepts in depth.
I have one issue with this video. the 'HOH' should not represent water like that since the ionic forms are being used, hence it should be H2O to show that the valencies are exchanged as well
wait i am confused the first example he gave of double displacement is an acid reacting with base but it wont form HOH cuz acid + base always gives salt +water?
So I've learned about single and double displacement reactions but I was thinking if triple displacement is possible? If yes! then how is it decided which element displaces the other??? when there are two metals the element can displace???? I was trying to find out about the same and I came across an equation: 2 AgNO3 + 2 NaCl + K2CrO4 → Ag2CrO4 + 2 NaNO3 + 2 KCl what type of reaction is this??? But why did Silver, in the above equation displaced Potassium and not Sodium?? How is it decided who displaces whom??? Please help!!!
If you want only the displacement of metals you need to know about metal reactivity series. As in single displacement reaction only one ion is displaced here 2 will replace each other depend how reactive one elements ion is. So you need to check the metal reactivity series to decide which element replaces another element the more reactive metal will always replace less reactive metals. Hope it helps :)
One thing in the following reaction is it possible OK to write (nacl)2 + BaSO4 Question was Na2S + HCl -> 2NaCl + BaSO4 Please give the answer if you know :)))
This equation is totally wrong as in reactant there is no barium but in product. Instead,barium sulphate [Ba(SO4)]there should be h2s. As discussed in video also.
