Yes, but make sure you understand why this reaction proceeds. If you need a hint, what is the net ionic equation?
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate

Dan: is trying to get you to think of water soluble salts in water as ions, instead of compounds.  Can you break the reactants into ions?  Can you break soluble products into ions?  Be sure to leave the insoluble ones alone.  And can you do this for all your recent questions, to help you understand all possible reactions?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
