Question 121 markMCQSection Section A

Consider the following chemical equation I and II

I. Mg+2HCl⟶MgCl2+H2Mg + 2HCl \longrightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2

II. NaOH+HCl⟶NaCl+H2ONaOH + HCl \longrightarrow NaCl + H_2O

The correct statement about these equations is -

Chemical Reactions and Equations
Types of Chemical Reactions

Options

(a)I is a displacement reaction and 'II' is a decomposition reaction.
(b)I is a displacement reaction and 'II' is double displacement reaction.
(c)Both 'I' and 'II' are displacement reactions.
(d)Both 'I' and 'II' are double-displacement reactions.

Official answer

I is a displacement reaction and II is a double displacement reaction.

Answer keywords:displacement reaction double displacement reaction

Marking scheme

  1. 1.1 mark

Hint

Identify the type of reaction based on the reactants and products.

Quick oral answer

I is a displacement reaction and II is a double displacement reaction.

Common mistakes

  1. 1.Both I and II are displacement reactions.

Analysis and explanation

I is a displacement reaction because Mg displaces H from HCl to form MgCl2 and H2.

II is a double displacement reaction because Na and H in NaOH and HCl are interchanged to form NaCl and H2O.

Interesting facts

Displacement reactions are used in the extraction of metals from their ores.
