Double Replacement

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction that occurs between aluminum sulfate and tripotassium phosphate.

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₃PO₄ ⇒ 2 AlPO₄ + 3 K₂SO₄

This is a double replacement reaction because both salts exchange their cations and anions. So, PO₄³⁻ takes the place of SO₄²⁻ in Al₂(SO₄)₃ and SO₄²⁻ takes the place of PO₄³⁻ in K₃PO₄.

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
