Answer:
Cu (s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) ---------> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
Explanation:
When a copper coin is dipped in silver nitrate solution, it displaces silver, being more reactive than it to form copper nitrate and silver. The chemical equation representing this chemical change is as below:
Cu (s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) ---------> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
The glitter on the coin is because silver is displaced and it is a shiny sparkling metal.
