Question

State your claim. Make sure your claim fully describes how the chemical equation Cu + 2AgNO3 → Cu(NO3)2+ 2Ag explains what happens when copper reacts with silver nitrate.

Answer 1

>Copper is more reactive than silver.
>When copper reacts with AgNO3, Cu displaces Ag from AgNO3, forming Cu(NO3)2.
>It's a displacement reaction as well as redox reaction.
