This is a displacement reaction: Copper is (barely) higher in the electromotive series than silver, so that the silver in a compound can be displaced by copper, resulting in the formation of unreacted silver.
CuCl2 + 2AgNO3 -------> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgCl for Copper (II) Chloride CuCl + AgNO3 --------> CuNO3 + AgCl for Copper (I) Chloride
One possibility is Cu + AgNO3 => Ag + CuNO3.
Cu(s) + AgNO3(aq) => Ag(s) + CuNO3(aq)
4.63g is the maximum amount of Cu2s that can be formed if 42.35g Ni2S3 reacts with 66.01g CuNO3.
from what I've seen, if the reaction is being done in distilled water, then the copper attracts the silver nitrate to it and the copper gets a thick film that is very easily removed and leaves tarnished copper looking bright and brand new.
The reaction is:Cu + AgNO3 = Ag + CuNO3
One balanced equation for the reaction between elemental copper and silver nitrate is Cu + AgNO3 -> CuNO3 + Ag.
Silver chloride is the precipitate in this reaction. CuCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq)-->CuNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
This reaction can occur according to the equation Cu + AgNO3 = CuNO3 + Ag or according to the equation Cu + 2 AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag, depending on whether Cu(I) or Cu(II) nitrate is formed.
CuNO3 + Ag
The requested equation is Cu + AgNO3 -> CuNO3 + Ag or Cu + 2 AgNO3 -> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag, depending on whether copper forms its (II) or (I) cations.

Cu + AgNO3 --> Ag + Cu(NO3)2See formation of silver crystalshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgYhkVy5cBU
CuCl2 + 2AgNO3 -------> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgCl for Copper (II) Chloride CuCl + AgNO3 --------> CuNO3 + AgCl for Copper (I) Chloride
One possibility is Cu + AgNO3 => Ag + CuNO3.
Copper(II) Oxide: CuO reaction with Nitric Acid: CuO + 2 HNO3 => Cu(NO3)2 + H2O Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O reaction with Ntric Acid: Cu2O + 2HNO3 => CuNO3 + H2O
Using Solid Copper the complete reaction would be:Cu + 2 AgNO3 -> 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2The half reactions would be:Cu0 -> Cu2+ + 2 e-2 Ag+ + 2 e- -> 2 Ag0Note: NO3- is a spectator ion
