There is a contradiction in this question. If a double displacement reaction has occurred then it has occurred whether or not you can detect a color change, odor, or precipitate. If the reactants and the products are soluble and you dont see a color change or smell anything doesn't mean that no reaction took place. Just that you can't detect it without some fancier stuff.

Double replace reactions remember on the production of a sturdy (precipitate), liquid, gas, or redox. All of those will eliminate ions from the answer. the 1st and final ions flow jointly as a product and the middle 2 ions flow jointly because of the fact the different product. study the two products on a table of solubility. in the event that they're insoluble, the reaction will happen. If a liquid or gas is formed the reaction will happen. If the fees of the ions replace throughout the reaction (redox) a reaction will happen. If none of those ingredient ensue no reaction will happen.

in a double replacement reaction, the reactants are dissolved in water and the ions are free to move around
the only way a reaction takes place is to remove ions from solution
there are two ways to do this:
1) form an insoluble solid (called a precipate)
2) form an insoluble molecule (like a gas)
if you don't remove ions from solution, then no new substance has been produced and there is no chemical reaction

Because no reaction has legitimately occurred. Compounds are dissolved in water, but no combination of ions produces an insoluble compound, so no net reaction has taken place.
