Answer:
Explanation:
When copper metal is dipped into an aqueous solution of , copper nitrate (
) is formed. This is type of displacement reaction because copper metal displaces silver from its salt. As only one ion is being displaced, therefore, it is a single displacement reaction.
Copper displaces silver as it is more reactive than silver. This can be confirmed by position of copper and silver in reactivity series. Elements above in the reactive series displaces elements present below from their salts.
The molecular equation is as follows:
Now, write the ionic equation as follows:
Cancel the common terms,
