Question

Cu(NO3)2 + Zn(s) → Cu (s) + Zn(NO3)2 is an example of which type of reaction

Answer 1

Balanced equation:
Cu(NO3)2 + Zn(s) = Cu(s) + Zn(NO3)2
Reaction type: single-displacement

Answer 2

Cu(NO3)2 + Zn (s) → Cu (s) + Zn(NO3)2 is an example of single displacement reaction.

DISPLACEMENT REACTION:

• A displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which one element is replaced by another element in a compound.

• A displacement reaction can either be single or double depending on the number of elements that was displaced or replaced.

• In the reaction as follows:

Cu(NO3)2 + Zn (s) → Cu (s) + Zn(NO3)2

• Copper (Cu) is displaced or replaced by Zinc (Zn) in the nitrate compound. Since, it involves only one displacement, it is termed a single displacement reaction.
