Question

To the refining of silver,the recovery of ag from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper . write a equation for this reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

2 (AgNO₃)+ CU ==> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Explanation:

in order to obtain silver copper is used to displace it from its nitrate (NO₃) compound.

some points to note for writing this reaction

1.the valency of silver is 1

2.the valency of copper is 2

3.thus the above reaction with copper displaces 2 silver atoms to form one copper nitrate
