Hi there !!
Your Question is =>
Can we place silver nitrate solution in an iron vessel. If yes , why ?
If no , why ?
The answer to this is NO .
We should not place silver nitrate solution in an iron vessel.
This is because , iron is more reactive than silver.
So , it would displace silver from its solution of silver nitrate.
In other words , a chemical reaction would take place .
Hence , it is not preferable to keep silver nitrate solution in an iron vessel
AgNO₃ + Fe ----> Fe(NO₃)₃ + Ag
This is the chemical reaction that would take place .
This reaction is an example of displacement reaction
