Question
What is meant by a double displacement reaction? Explain with the help of one example.

Solution
The reactions in which two compounds react by an exchange of ions to form two new compounds are called double displacement reactions. A double displacement reaction usually occurs in solution, and one of the products, being insoluble, precipitates out (separates as a solid).
When a silver nitrate solution is added to a sodium chloride solution, a white precipitate of silver chloride forms along with a sodium nitrate solution.
\[\ce{\underset{Silver nitrate}{AgNO3_{(aq)}} + \underset{Sodium chloride}{NaCl_{(aq)}} -> \underset{(White ppt{.})}{\underset{Silver chloride}{AgCl_{(s)}}} + \underset{Sodium nitrate}{NaNO3_{(aq)}}}\]
