Are you aware of what a double replacement reaction is?

anonymous · Answer

yes, but that is not one of the options. I was also thinking double displacement.

dtan5457 · Answer

Well, since you already know it, I guess I don't have to explain. 
Exchange of ions is the same thing as double replacement.

anonymous · Answer

Ohhh thanks, I was also wondering what exchange of ions meant, so thank you!!!
