the colour of Silver Nitrate solution changes when a copper rod is dipped in it explain this with the help of chemical reaction involved
Answers
Answer:
The silver nitrate solution changes colour from whitish - colourless solution to a blue coloured solution.
This happens because copper displaces silver in the solution to form copper nitrate.

Answer:
The silver nitrate solution changes colour from whitish - colourless solution to a blue coloured solution.
This happens because copper displaces silver in the solution to form copper nitrate.
Explanation:
Copper displaces silver in the solution because copper is more reactive than silver.
This reaction is known as a single displacement reaction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The equation of the reaction of the copper metal and the silver nitrate is as follows:
Cu + 2AgNO₃ ---> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
The blue colour of the solution is because of the copper ions in the formed copper nitrate (copper ions are blue in colour in a solution)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: A more reactive metal will displace a metal that is less reactive in a solution.
Attached is the reactivity series of a few metals that you can use to predict the outcome of a reaction.
