Which of the following is a single replacement reaction? a. CaO + H2O yields Ca(OH)2 b. Mg + 2HNO3yields Mg(NO3)2 + H2 c. NaOH + HCl yields H2O + NaCl d. CH4 + 2O2yields CO2 + 2H2O

Respuesta :

The correct option is B. 
Single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction, in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. There are usually two reactants, one is a pure element and the other one is an aqueous compound. The products formed is usually made up of another pure element and a new compound. In the option B, you will notice that, in the reactant part, Mg is a pure element while in the product side, H2 is a pure element.
