Which among the following chemical equations represents a non-metal displacement reaction?

Options

  1. ATiCl4+2Mg→ΔTi+2MgCl2TiCl_4 + 2Mg \xrightarrow{\Delta} Ti + 2MgCl_2
  2. B2NaH→Δ2Na+H22NaH \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2Na + H_2
  3. CCl2+2KBr→2KCl+Br2Cl_2 + 2KBr \rightarrow 2KCl + Br_2
  4. D4H3PO3→Δ3H3PO4+PH34H_3PO_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 3H_3PO_4 + PH_3

Correct answer

C. Cl2+2KBr→2KCl+Br2Cl_2 + 2KBr \rightarrow 2KCl + Br_2

Step-by-step solution

In a non-metal displacement reaction, a non-metal displaces another non-metal from its compound.

In the reaction Cl2+2KBr→2KCl+Br2Cl_2 + 2KBr \rightarrow 2KCl + Br_2, chlorine (Cl2Cl_2), which is a non-metal, displaces bromine (Br2Br_2), another non-metal, from potassium bromide (KBrKBr). Therefore, this is a non-metal displacement reaction.

For the other options:
TiCl4+2Mg→ΔTi+2MgCl2TiCl_4 + 2Mg \xrightarrow{\Delta} Ti + 2MgCl_2 is a metal displacement reaction since magnesium displaces titanium.
2NaH→Δ2Na+H22NaH \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2Na + H_2 is a decomposition reaction.
4H3PO3→Δ3H3PO4+PH34H_3PO_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 3H_3PO_4 + PH_3 is a disproportionation reaction.

Answer: Cl2+2KBr→2KCl+Br2Cl_2 + 2KBr \rightarrow 2KCl + Br_2
