=DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT=

In a double replacement reaction parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Two reactants yield two products.

For example when silver nitrate combines with sodium chloride, two new compounds silver chloride and sodium nitrate.

To make this an equation you find the symbol for silver nitrate(AgNO3) and sodium chloride(NaCl) then draw an arrow and then you write the symbol silver chloride(AgCl) and sodium nitrate(NaNO3). The chemical equation for this double replacement reaction looks like this: AgNO3 + NaCl -> AgCl + NaNO3

To balance the equation first make a chart the show how much of each element you have: 1 Ag 1 1 N 1 3 O 3 1 Na 1 1 Cl 1

Since the equation is already balance the final equation is:
