Which of the Following Reaction is not a Redox Reaction? Which of the following Reaction is not a Redox Reaction

Answer: (B) Double displacement

Explanation:

A redox reaction is not a double displacement reaction. This is because in a double displacement reaction, two ionic species interact to produce products, and there is no loss or gain of electrons.

When a portion of two ionic compounds is transferred to form two new components, this is known as a double displacement reaction. This is the pattern of a twofold displacement reaction.

The ions precipitate and exchange ions in double displacement processes, which occur predominantly in aqueous solutions.

Examples of double displacement reaction:

  1. H2SO4 + 2LiOH Li2SO4 + 2H2O 
  2. AgNO3 + HCl AgCl + HNO3
  3. 2NaCl + CaSO4 Na2SO4 + CaCl2
  4. AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3
