Question

when copper when copper is added to a solution of silver nitrate,silver is precipitated.this is due to
1.oxidation of silver
2.oxidation of copper
3.oxidation of silver
4.reduction of silver ion
The correct combination is​

Answer 1

hello dear!

answer:- 2) oxidation of copper

✨_____________________________

When a copper wire is introduced into an aqueous silver nitrate solution, displacement reaction occurs.

At the beginning of the experiment, the pure elemental form of copper (Cu) is oxidised by the silver nitrate solution. This means that it loses electrons and forms copper ions. These ions replace the silver ions that are present in the aqueous silver nitrate solution to form a new compound: copper nitrate.

Copper Metal (Cu) + Silver Nitrate (AgNO3) → Silver Metal (Ag) + Copper Nitrate (CuNO3)
