Answer 1

mate plzzzz check i found that something is missing in the question......

Answer 2

Answer:

Copper is above silver in the electrochemical series and is thus more reactive than silver.

So, copper displaces silver from silver nitrate. Hence, we cannot store AgNO

solution in a copper vessel.

Displacement Reaction taking place in the container:

$$\mathrm{Cu + 2AgNO_3 \to Cu(NO_3)_2 + 2Ag}$$
