Question

In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.

Answer 1

the reaction involved is displacement reaction.

the most reactive metal which is copper displaces less reactive metal silver from silver nitrate.

AgNO3+ Cu gives Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

Answer 2

In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.

As copper is more reactive than silver, it displace Ag from AgNO3 solution.

Cu + AgNO3 ----> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag
