Question

Cu +AgNo3 reacts x +Ag in the reaction x is

Answer 1

Cu +AgNo3 reacts

Explanation:

• Cu +AgNo3 reacts to give $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$  i.e. copper nitrate and Ag in the reaction
• Now, it is an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction. Copper being more reactive thus shift the silver out of the compound.
• The balanced chemical reaction is shown below,

          $2AgNO3 + Cu$ →$Cu(NO_{3})_{2} +2Ag$

• thus, from the chemical reaction, we infer that X in the reaction is aqueous copper nitrate $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$
