Question

Nickel metal is added to a solution of copper(ii) nitrate. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. enter no reaction if no reaction occurs.

Answer 1

Nickel is the 28th chemical in the periodic table and the chemical symbol of copper (II) nitrate is Cu(NO₃)₂. The chemical reaction that occurs between these compounds is a single-replacement reaction.

From the activity series of metals, nickel is able to replace copper in the compound and this is expressed in the balanced equation,

                      Ni(s) + Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) --> Cu(s) + Ni(NO₃)₂(aq)

The phases are also written in the equation.
