Question

Write a formula and balanced equation for the following: solid copper metal reacts with aqueous silver nitrate to produce solid silver metal and aqueous copper Nitrate. How do I know if it will form copper (I) nitrate CuNO3 or copper (II) nitrate Cu(NO3)2 ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

copper (II) nitrate

Illustrate variety of substances of which an element can be part:

metal --> blue solution --> blue solid --> black solid --> blue solution (again) --> metal (again).When solid copper reacts with aqueous silver nitrate, the products are copper (II) nitrate and solid silver. and carbon monoxide gas produces solid iron and carbon dioxide gas.
