Solution
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.
