Question
Choose the correct option from the bracket andexplain the statement giving reason:
Addition of an aqueous solution of $ZnSO_4$ to an aqueous solution of $BaCl_2$​​​​​​​ is an example of _________________ reaction.
(displacement, double displacement, decomposition)

Answer

double displacement
Explanation: When aqueous solution of $ZnSO_4$ is added to aqueous solution of $BaCl_2$​​​​​​​​​​​​​​, a reaction takes place forming an aqueous solution of $ZnCl_2$​​​​​​​ and a white precipitate of $BaSO_4$​​​​​​​. In this reaction ions in the reactants are exchanged to form a precipitate. Such reactions are called double displacement reactions.
