Answer: basic
Explanation:
pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is measured by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ions concentration.
Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.
The type of chemical reaction that the reactants will undergo would be a single displacement reaction.
In a single displacement reaction, one element gets substituted or replaced by another element in a compound. This often leads to the formation of a new compound (aqueous) and a new element (solid or precipitate).
Thus, the complete equation of the reaction becomes:
Cu displaced Ag from AgNO3. Thus Ag becomes precipitated in solution while a new compound, CU(NO3)2 is formed.
