Question

Zinc+silver nitrate gives zinc nitrate +silver. Balanced chemical equation and identify the type of reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver which gives raise to the zinc nitrate and this in turn produces silver. This reaction is generally a substitution reaction where the zinc is substituted in place of the silver

Answer 2

Answer:

Zn(s) + 2AgNO_{3}(s) → Zn(NO_{3})_{2} + 2Ag  

(Zinc) + (Silver nitrate) → (Zinc nitrate) + (Silver)

Explanation:

Zinc reacts with silver nitrate to form zinc nitrate and it gives silver as the byproduct during or at the end of the reaction. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver which gives raise to the zinc nitrate and this in turn produces silver. This reaction is generally a substitution reaction where the zinc is substituted in place of the silver.
