Respuesta :
"The reaction has two reactants with ions that seem to switch places" can be used to identify a chemical reaction as a replacement reaction.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When only one element gets displaced upon chemical reaction between a compound and an element then it is known as a single replacement reaction.
For example, [tex]Fe_{2}O_{3}(s) + 2Al(s) \rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3}(s) + 2Fe(l)[/tex]
On the other hand, when two compounds chemically react together and their ions get replaced by each other then it is known as a double replacement reaction.
For example, [tex]AgNO_{3}(aq) + NaCl(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + NaNO_{3}(aq)[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the reaction which has two reactants with ions that seem to switch places clue can be used to identify a chemical reaction as a replacement reaction.
