Given the balanced equation:
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) ==> NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
This reaction is classified as
(1) synthesis
(2) decomposition
(3) single replacement
(4) double replacement
The answer is (4) double replacement. The single replacement reaction has the formula of A+BC=B+AC. Synthesis has the formula of A+B=AB. The decomposition reaction has the formula of AB=A+B.
