Question

Copper will displace silver from a solution of silver nitrate:
Cu + 2AgNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

b Write an ionic equation for this reaction

c Write two half equations for this reaction.

d Explain why this is a redox reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

b) copper + silver nitrate gives out copper nitrate and silver

Explanation:

c) copper and silver nitrate

copper nitrate and silver

d) this is redox reaction because as if u knew that a reaction is said to be redox if addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen takes place while removal of oxygn or addition of hydrogen takes place in this reqctio additional as well as eemocal or oxygen takes place

Answer 2

Answer:

Copper is more reactive than silver. When copper reacts with AgNO3, Cu displaces Ag from AgNO3, forming Cu(NO3)2. It's a displacement reaction as well as redox reaction. Oxidation number of Cu changes from 0 to 2 so it's oxidized.
