Which of the following is not a correct chemical equation for a double displacement reaction? 2 RbNO3 + BeF2 yields Be(NO3)2 + 2 RbF CaCl + LiCO3 yields CaCO3 + LiCl Na3PO4 + 3 KOH yields 3 NaOH + K3PO4 2 MgI2 + Mn(SO3)2 yields 2 MgSO3 + MnI4

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i'd suggest you double check the formulas written, 1 is wrong

OpenStudy (aaronq):

actually 2 are wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?!?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which would you pick?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i reallyy don't know what to choose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain why?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

we'll if you look at the formulas individually e.g. MgCl2 some are wrong, and thats where the problem lies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so thats referring to CaCl, and for answer C, isnt that also wrong?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yes, and no, C is fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres no precipitate for C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is the other error you pointed out then?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

what would be the ppt in C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is none

OpenStudy (aaronq):

A ppt is not needed for a double d reaction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isn't? oh, yeah I just looked it up. its just happens to be a regular tendency. Thx for the help.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

np!

OpenStudy (abb0t):

double D's you say? :)
