Addition of an aqueous solution of ZnSO₄ to an aqueous solution of BaCl₂ is an example of ______ reaction.

Answer 1

Addition of an aqueous solution of ZnSO₄ to an aqueous solution of BaCl₂ is an example of double displacement reaction. 

Explanation:

On addition of ZnSO₄ and BaCl₂, the following reaction takes place:

In the reaction, the exchange of ions is taking place. The reaction in which the exchange of ions takes place to form precipitate are called double displacement reaction.
