Which of the following is a double replacement reaction? Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 8Fe + S8 → 8FeS Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2

Respuesta :

That would be the first option Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4  → CaSO4 + 2H2O.

The Ca replaces the H2 in H2SO4,  and the  H2 replaces the Ca is Ca(OH)2.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which there occurs exchange of two ions between two different compounds is known as a double replacement reaction.

For example, [tex]Ca(OH)_{2} + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow CaSO_{4} + 2H_{2}O[/tex]

Here, [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] ions of [tex]CaOH_{2}[/tex] is replaced by [tex]SO^{21}_{4}[/tex] ions of sulfuric acid and  [tex]SO_{4}[/tex] of sulfuric acid is replaced by [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] ions of [tex]CaOH_{2}[/tex].

When two atoms combine together to form a compound then it is known as synthesis reaction.

When a compound reacts with oxygen to give carbondioxide and water then it is known as combustion reaction.

When a metal is treated with an acid to yield hydrogen gas then it is known as single replacement reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that [tex]Ca(OH)_{2} + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow CaSO_{4} + 2H_{2}O[/tex]  is a double replacement reaction.
