half reaction


What kind of reaction is zinc and hydrochloric acid?

Solid Zinc reacting with Hydrochloric Acid is a single replacement Oxidation/Reduction reaction.


What is another name for oxidation-reduction reaction?

another name for an exchange reaction but metathesis reaction. This reaction usually occurs in hydrolysis and is AB+CD=AD+CB


What type of reaction is Mg and Cl2 gives MgCl2?

a displacement reaction, magnesium displaces hydrogen because it is more reactive


What is a displaced reaction?

A single-displacement reaction, also called single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. (One element is replaced by another in a compound.) This is usually written asA + BX → AX + B


In a single displacement reaction one element replaces another element in a compound?

A single-displacement reaction, also named single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another-that is, one element is replaced by another in a compound.


What name is given when chemicals react together?

The general term is "chemical reaction". There are sub-categories like "oxidation-reduction", "double (and single) replacement", and others.


Is oxidation reaction a single replacement reaction?

It can be, but it can also be other types of reaction. An example of an oxidation reaction that is also a single replacement would be Zn(s) + 2HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2. In this reaction Zn is oxidized and H is reduced.


The single oxidation of a tertiary alcohol forms?

no reaction.


How does oxidation-reduction occur in a single displacement reaction?

Here's a simple example of displacement reaction : MgCl2 + Ca --> CaCl2 + Mg If we break the reaction down into ionic reactions, it would be : Mg(2+) + 2e --> Mg (This is reduction because Magnesium receives electrons) Ca --> Ca(2+) + 2e (This is oxidation because Oxygen loses electrons) The 2 Chlorine ions act as the spectator ions throughout the reaction as they are not changed before and after the reaction (they are charged 1- each).


What is single displacement?

Single displacement is a oxidation-reduction chemical reaction in which an element or ion moves from one compound to another. There is no single person to whom credit was given for the discovery of single displacement.


Zn plus H2SO4---- ZnSO4 plus H2?

This is a single replacement reaction. The zinc replaces the copper in the sulfate compound. In general, if a reaction occurs between a metal and metal-nonmetal (ionic) compound, the two metals will "switch."
