Question

1. A copper plate was dipped in AgNO3 solution. After certain time silver from the solution was deposited
on the copper plate. State the reason why it happened. Give the chemical equation of the reaction
involved.​

Answer 1

Silver gets deposited on the copper plate because according to the reactivity

series copper is more reactive than silver, therefore it displaces silver from its salt solution and hence forms copper nitrate

Equation:

Cu+AgNO3(arrow) CuNO3+Ag
