double displacement

Answer 1

The reaction between 2Fe(NO3)3 and 3Mg(C2H3O2)2 to form 2Fe(C2H3O2)3 and 3Mg(NO3)2 is an example of a **double displacement reaction**. In this type of reaction, the cations and anions exchange partners to form new compounds.

So, the correct response is **double displacement**.
