Card 12 / 19: AB + CD -> AD + BE Is this a legitimate example of an exchange reaction? Why or why not?
Answer:
It is not. An exchange reaction might be AB + CD -> AC + BD or AB + CD -> AD + BC . In all chemical reactions, including exchange reactions, the components of the reactants are identical to the components of the products. A component present among the reactants cannot disappear, nor can a component not present in the reactants suddenly appear in the products.
