Yes, that is completion reaction.

This type of reactions do not set up an equilibrium and goes until one of the reactants runs out.

Three major types of completion reactions are:

1. Formation of a slightly ionized product (for example mixture of sodium bromide and potassium chloride).

2. Formation of a gas (for example hydrogen gas from metal and acid).

3. Formation of a precipitate (feor example silver chloride).
