Answer:

Balanced chemical equation:

2AgNO₃ + Zn → ZnNO₃ + 2Ag

Type of reaction:

It is the single replacement reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the reaction between zinc and silver nitrate. In this chemical reaction the zinc is substituted in place of silver in silver nitrate compound.

Chemical equation:

AgNO₃ + Zn → ZnNO₃ + Ag

Balanced chemical equation:

2AgNO₃ + Zn → ZnNO₃ + 2Ag

The starting material consist of compound ( AgNO₃) and pure element (Zn).

After reaction a new compound ( ZnNO₃) and pure element (Ag) is generated.

Type of reaction:

It is the single replacement reaction.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B
