Question

write reaction for Zinc reacts silver nitrate to form zinc nitrate and silver.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Zinc reacts with "silver nitrate" to form "zinc nitrate and silver".
• This is a precipitation reaction which will precipitate silver metal and aqueous zinc nitrate.
• This is a single replacement reaction and the replacement takes place because zinc is higher than silver in the metal reactivity series according to the periodic table.

                          $\mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{Ag}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{2+}$

• This reaction is a redox reaction where zinc metal Zn is oxidized to its cations $Zn^{2+}$and the silver cations $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$ is reduced to silver metal Ag.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Zinc reacts with "silver nitrate" to form "zinc nitrate and silver".

This is a precipitation reaction which will precipitate silver metal and aqueous zinc nitrate.

This is a single replacement reaction and the replacement takes place because zinc is higher than silver in the metal reactivity series according to the periodic table.

                         

This reaction is a redox reaction where zinc metal Zn is oxidized to its cations and the silver cations  is reduced to silver metal Ag.
