Step-by-step explanation:

copper (II) nitrate

Illustrate variety of substances of which an element can be part:

metal --> blue solution --> blue solid --> black solid --> blue solution (again) --> metal (again).When solid copper reacts with aqueous silver nitrate, the products are copper (II) nitrate and solid silver. and carbon monoxide gas produces solid iron and carbon dioxide gas.
