doulbe displacement reaction???

Question

for my chemistry class i need to make a model of a double displacement reaction but i dont even know what one looks like or how to make it! can somebody find a good website with examples and pictures????please

Answer 1

Buy four sheets of colored paper or preferably poster board in four different pastel colors. Cut two of them into squares with a > projection on one side, like the cartoon of a house. Label one of these "Silver, Ag+" with a fine-tip marker. Label the other one "Sodium Na+."

Cut the two others into squares, but with a < indentation cut into oneside, so that it fits into the > projections of the others. Label one of these "Nitrate, NO3-" and the other "Chloride, Cl-."

Show how at the beginning, the Ag+ is paired with NO3-, fitted together. Likewise the Na+ and the Cl-. Move the squares around so that the Ag+ is fitted into the Cl-, and the Na+ is fitted into the NO3-. That is the model for a double displacement.

Well, Jennifer, I wish I could help, but, seeing as how I'm in your chemistry class and hour, I seem to be in the same situation as you!
