    Here's what I get

    Explanation:

    In a double displacement reaction, two metals exchange partners:

    ZnCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 2AgCl + Zn (NO₃) ₂

    You can have a displacement reaction that starts with one pure metal:

    Zn + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 2Ag + Zn (NO₃) ₂

    In this case, however, one metal is taking the other's partner, so we call it a single displacement reaction.
