Question

can silver nitrate be kept in an aluminum vessel.explain and also write the equation involved

Answer 1

Answer:

No. This is because Aluminium is more reactive than Silver and will displace silver from it's aqueous solution.  

The reaction goes like this:

Ag(NO3)2 + Al2 ==> Al(NO3)3 + Ag

Silver will be deposited on the surface of the Aluminium vessel and the Aluminium vessel will decrease in size. Eventually, some parts of the Aluminium container will dissolve and form holes or cracks, causing the silver nitrate to leak out!
