Question

how would you show that silver is chemically less reactive than copper ?​

Answer 1

by the help of the following test :-

in a beaker take a solution of AgSO4 and dip a Cu rod into it. Slowly the colour of AgSO4 solution will change Ag metal will be deposited at the base of the beaker. this is a displacement reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from it's salt solution.
Reaction:
AgSO4 + Cu ----------> CuSO4 + Ag

But the above reaction is not possible in reverse direction i.e Ag cannot displace Cu from CuSO4 solution

hence proved.

hope this helps you ☺️☺️☺️

Here is your

$\boxed {{Answer:}}$

[tex]We can show that copper is less reactive than copper by displacement reaction.If a piece of silver is placed in CuSO4 no reaction will occur because Ag is less reactive than copper and won't be able to displace Cu from CuSO4 solution.This

shows that silver (Ag) is less reactive than copper (Cu).
