Ted and Emily played a mixed doubles tennis match against Jack and Brenda. In the second match, Ted and Brenda played against Jack and Emily. Which type of chemical reaction does the situation demonstrate? Synthesis reaction Single replacement Double replacement Decomposition reaction

Answer :

Answer:

Double replacement.

Explanation:

Chemical Reactions => Double Replacement Reactions.

Let's call Ted as T, Emily as E, Jack as J, and Brenda as B.

In the first match, we have T and E playing against J and B; and in the second match, we have T and B playing against J and E. We can state a 'reaction' of this if the first match would be the reactants and the second match the products:

[tex]TE+JB\rightarrow TB+JE.[/tex]

You can note that this is similar to a double replacement reaction, remember that a double-replacement reaction is a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds. The general form of a double-replacement reaction is:

[tex]AB+CD\rightarrow AD+BC,[/tex]

which is similar to the reaction of the game, so the answer would be Double replacement.
