in a double replacement reaction, what happens to the ions of the two aqueous solutions?
they remain unchanged in the solution
they combine to form a single compound
they form a gas without exchanging ions
the cations and anions switch partners

Explanation:

• For the first question: In a double - replacement reaction, if no precipitate, water, or gas is formed, there is no driving force for the reaction to occur. So, no reaction takes place.
• For the second question: By the definition of a double - replacement reaction (also known as a metathesis reaction), the cations and anions of the two reactants switch partners.

Answer:

• First question: No reaction occurs
• Second question: The cations and anions switch partners
