A scenario where your statement may be correct is using a hydrated strong base salt (e.g.

Yes, this is one of the general types of a double displacement reactions.
Explanation:
A double displacement reaction where;
- A salt with an acid that forms a salt of the acid and a second acid that is volatile; i.e.,
#2KNO_3(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq)->K_2SO_4(aq)+color(red)(2HNO_3(g)# (balanced)
Note:
#color(red)(HNO_3) " is one of the a highly volatile acids"# - Same reaction of a salt with an acid that may yield a compound that can be decomposed into a
#color(red)("gas")# and a#color(blue)("liquid")# ; that is,
#CaCO_3(aq)+2HCl(aq)->CaCl_2(aq)+color(orange)(H_2CO_3)(aq)# (balanced)
where:
#color(orange)(H_2CO_3)(aq)->color(red)(CO_2(g))+color(blue)(H_2O(l))#
