No. Not every double displacement reaction is a precipitation reaction. If we look at just one reaction, a neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we'll see this: HCl + NaOH => NaCl + H2O The end products are sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) and water (H2O). The salt is soluble in water so it will not precipitate out. There are many, many double displacement reactions, and the ones that will result in a precipitate will be ones where an end product is not soluble.

Yes, it is true. Double displacement reactions are also called as precipitation reaction as one of the products formed is a precipitate which settles down.

For example:-

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 ------> 2NaCl + BaSO4 (precipitate)

AgNO3 + NaCl --------> NaNO3 + AgCl(precipitate)

Yes. An example of this would be Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) and Copper sulfate (CuSO4)

No. Some involve acids and bases and form water in a neutralization reaction. Others produce a gas.

What kind of reaction occurs when one element replaces another in a compound?

This is called a replacement reaction. When one element replaces another in a compound, it is called single replacement or single displacement. An example isZn + 2HCl ---> ZnCl2 + H2 where the zinc replaces the hydrogen in the acid to form zinc chloride.
