Question:
Complete and balance the following chemical reaction by writing the correct formulas of the product(s) that form:
{eq}Zn(s) + CuBr_{2}(aq) \rightarrow {/eq} _____ + _____ single displacement
Single Displacement Reaction:
There are a variety of chemical reactions that can occur involving two different reactant species, with one example being a single displacement reaction. This is generally defined as an atom from one reactant swapping position with an atom in the other reactant. In chemical terms, this swapping occurs through breaking and formation of some types of ionic and/or covalent bonds. A common route towards a single displacement reaction is through oxidation-reduction (redox) of certain reactant atoms.
