Question
Define the term chemical displacement reaction. Support your answer by two examples an write fully balanced chemical equations.

Answer

displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Examples:
1. Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
2. Cu + 2AgNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
