Answer:
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)→Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)
This chemical equation means:
One mole of solid copper plus two moles of aqueous silver nitrate produce one mole of copper(II) nitrate plus two moles of solid silver.
This is a single replacement reaction in which the metal copper replaces the metal silver.
Zeff is the effective nuclear charge wherein, Z resembles the number of protons in the nucleus while S corresponds to the number of non-valence electrons.
Zeff = Z - S
Silicon has 14 protons; its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p2. Its
non-valence electrons is in the n = 1 and n =2 shells. There are 2
electrons in n = 1 and 8 in n = 2, so there are a total of 10
non-valence electron.

So, the answer is 4.
