This reaction can be expressed as a word equation: copper + silver nitrate → silver + copper nitrate You can replace each part of the word equation by a chemical formula: Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2 Looking at both sides of this equation, you can see that it is not balanced.
Explanation: Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. ... During combustion, new chemical substances are created from the fuel and the oxidizer.
