A double replacement reaction is a chemical reaction where two reactant ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new product compounds with the same ions.
During double replacement, the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places.
AB + XY ---> AY + XB
A characteristic of a double-replacement equation is that there are two compounds as reactants and two different compounds as products.
