Solution
| Column A | Column B | ||
| (a) | \[\ce{ZnCl2 \text{from} Zn}\] | 3. | Displacement reaction |
| (b) | \[\ce{KNO3 \text{from} KOH}\]. | 4. | Neutralization |
| (c) | \[\ce{CaCO3 \text{from} CaCl2}\]. | 1. | Precipitation |
Explanation:
- Displacement Reaction
\[\ce{Zn + HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2}\]
Displace H from HCl because zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. - Neutralization Reaction
\[\ce{KOH + HNO3 -> KNO3 + H2O}\]
\[\ce{Base + Acid -> Salt + water; Neutralization reaction}\] - Precipitation Reaction
\[\ce{CaCl2 + Na2CO3 -> 2NaCl + CaCO3 ↓}\]
Sodium chloride and a clacium carbonate precipitate follow from the double displacement reaction.
