In the refining of silver,the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involves displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.
(N/A) The recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution by copper metal is a displacement reaction. Copper is more reactive than silver,so it displaces silver from its salt solution.
The chemical reaction is:
$2AgNO_{3(aq)} + Cu_{(s)} \to Cu(NO_3)_{2(aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)}$
In this reaction,copper metal displaces silver ions from the silver nitrate solution to form copper$(II)$ nitrate and solid silver.
