one reactant and two products

one reactant and one product

two reactants and two products

two reactants and one product

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 reactants and 2 products. All are compounds

Explanation:

Answer : The correct option is, two reactants and two products.

Explanation :

Double replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange their places to form two new products.

It is represented as,

[tex]XY+AB\rightarrow XB+AY[/tex]

(X and A are the cations, Y and B are the anions)

For example : Barium chloride react with magnesium sulfate to give barium sulfate and magnesium chloride as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

[tex]BaCl_2+MgSO_4\rightarrow MgCl_2+BaSO_4[/tex]

From this we conclude that, there are two reactants and two products are present in a double-replacement reaction.

Hence, the correct option is, two reactants and two products.
