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.

Is displacement the change in velocity of an object?

Velocity is change in displacement over time.


What is the unit for displacement?

Displacement is measured in distance, so any measurement dealing with only distance will work. The SI units are meters.


What is an example of displacement in science?

Depending upon the field of science, at least 3 different meanings exist - Displacement is the shortest distance from a starting point to an end point. For example, if you run 150 metres along a road, to a shop, your displacement will be 150 metres. If you run back to your original starting point, your displacement will be 0 metres. If you then ran 30 metres in the opposite direction. Your displacement would be 30 metres. Displacement is the volume of a fluid that is moved (displaced) when an object is submersed within the fluid. Fluid displacement is used to measure the volume of an object of irregular shape. The fluid is measured before and after displacement to determine the object volume. In psychology, displacement refers to an unconscious defense mechanism where the mind redirects thoughts of a dangerous situation to a less dangerous or safe alternative.


What kind of reaction is Kl(aq) AgNO3(aq)-Agl(s) KNO3(aq)?

AgNO3 + KI --> AgI + KNO3 is a double replacement (displacement) reaction.


What is displacement measured in?

Displacement can be measured in any unit that measures distance but the SI unit is meters. When talking about the displacement of a ship, it refers to the mass of water that the ship displaces. This is actually equal to the weight of the ship and is usually expressed in metric tons.

Are single displacement and double displacement reactions always redox reactions?

No, single displacement and double displacement reactions are not always redox reactions. Redox reactions involve electron transfer between reactants, while single displacement and double displacement reactions do not always involve the transfer of electrons.

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.
