The answer to your question is No, it is not.

Explanation:

Data

C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

In a double replacement reaction, two reactants interchange cations an example of these reactions are neutralization reactions. In neutralization reactions, an acid and a base react to form a salt and water.

The reaction of this problem is not a double replacement reaction because the products are carbon dioxide and water, not a salt and water.

The reaction of this problem is a combustion reaction.
