what happen when a copper metal is added to Silver Nitrate reaction and give balance equation for a chemical reaction taking place predict which is more reactive copper or zinc

The silver nitrate is in solution and the
metallic copper will dissolve to form copper nitrate; as it does so, the
silver in solution will be precipitated out as metallic silver. That
is, the silver in solution is exchanged for copper and the copper that
is not in solution is substituted for silver. Hope this makes sense!
Alternatively:
Cu(0) + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + Ag(0)

Cu + AgNO3 -------> CuNO3 + Ag
as ag is less reactive than cu
similarly add zn to cuno3
Zn + CuNO3 -------> ZnNO3 + Cu hence zn is more reactive
