Answer 1

The correct answer is '2AgBr(s) \(\rm \xrightarrow{Sunlight}\) 2Ag(s) + Br2(g)'.

Key Points

A displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule.
For instance, when iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal.
A + B-C → A-C + B.
The above equation exists when A is more reactive than B.

Additional Information

The displacement reaction is the one whether the atom or group of atom are displaced by the atom or group of atoms.
The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.
