Oh I see, thank-you so much!!! :)In all of these reactions. Think about what is in solution. In this case, what ions are in solution.
When you know what kinds of ions are in solution, think a bit about what kind of species they are (salts, acids, bases)
If you have an acid and a base, you might expect an acid-base reaction. If you just have salts, think about whether any of the new pairings would result in an insoluble salt.
Basically: What do you have in the beaker. What kinds of reactions do the species undergo?
