In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)
