One
Two
Three
Four
3. In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive will displace a less reactive from a compound.
4. A double replacement reaction often results in the formation of a precipitate, a gas, or a(n) .
5. Write the balanced chemical equation for the single replacement reaction between solid zinc and aqueous copper(II) chloride.
