double decomposition

In older literature, the term double decomposition is frequently encountered.

It undergoes double decomposition reactions in solution with a number of metal salts.

Replies: The classification scheme of "double decomposition" and its cousins has pretty much been abandoned.

On industrial scale it is prepared by the double decomposition reaction between sodium nitrate and potassium chloride.

It will then form insoluble cobalt silicate by a double decomposition reaction (anion metathesis).

These salts are prepared by double decomposition from a solution of sodium perchlorate and potassium or ammonium chlorides.

Aqueous metathesis (double decomposition)

Uracil can also be synthesized by a double decomposition of thiouracil in aqueous chloroacetic acid.

Many insoluble barium salts, such as the carbonate, oxalate and phosphate of the metal, are precipitated by similar double decomposition reactions.

It had a secondary used to provide white smoke but its ready double decomposition reaction with potassium chlorate producing the highly unstable ammonium chlorate made its use very suspect.

The term double decomposition is more specifically used when at least one of the substances does not dissolve in the solvent, as the ligand or ion exchange takes place in the solid state of the reactant, for example:
