Question

What happens when copper metal is added to silver nitrate solution ? Write observations and balanced chemical equation for the reaction involved.Name the type of rection

Answer 1

The key thing to note with this reaction is that copper is further up the reactivity index than silver. So it will displace the silver cations (reducing them to the elemental metal), whilst itself being oxidised to Copper II cations (Cu2+) and going into solution. So you end up with the silver metal precipitating out and a copper II nitrate solution remaining

Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)
