Detailed Solution

A double displacement reaction is defined as a salt metathesis reaction.
A salt metathesis reaction is called a double displacement or precipitation reaction. A double displacement reaction is when two reactant compounds react by exchanging their ions and creating two new substances. For example, a white precipitate is observed due to a double displacement reaction when barium chloride solution is mixed with copper sulphate solution.
BaCl2 + CuSO4 → BaSO4 + CuCl2
