  • Sodium Bromide and Calcium Hydroxide Reaction: A Double Displacement Explained
    The reaction between sodium bromide (NaBr) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂ ) is a double displacement reaction.

    Here's why:

    * Double Displacement: In this type of reaction, the positive and negative ions of two reactants switch partners.

    * The Reaction:

    * NaBr + Ca(OH)₂ → NaOH + CaBr₂

    * Explanation:

    * Sodium (Na+) from NaBr combines with hydroxide (OH-) from Ca(OH)₂ to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

    * Calcium (Ca²+) from Ca(OH)₂ combines with bromide (Br-) from NaBr to form calcium bromide (CaBr₂).

    Important Note: This reaction is an equilibrium reaction, meaning it doesn't go to completion. The products (NaOH and CaBr₂) will also react to form the reactants (NaBr and Ca(OH)₂) to some extent.
