Single Replacement Chemical Reaction

Single Replacement Chemical Reaction

One type of atom or group in a compund is replaced by another type of atom or group forming a new compund.  Below --> Hydrogen in HCl  is replaced by Aluminium in AlCl₃

 Example: Al  +  HCl  --> AlCl₃ + H₂              Balanced :   2Al  +  6HCl  =  2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Note: If you use CHEMIX School for balancing chemical reactions/equations you must replace the arrow '-->' by '>'  (greater then).
