Best Answer

In certain reaction conditions, yes.

Copper is more reactive than silver, so it should react with the nitrate molecule to form copper nitrate while precipitating the silver.

*Are you thinking about separating silver from photographic fixer? Commonly a less expensive metal is used like iron (steel wool) to extract much of the silver.

How could you react silver nitrate and copper?

By dissolving the silver nitrate in water, then stirring finely divided copper into the water. The copper will displace silver from the silver nitrate as a solid and form copper nitrate in the solution.

Copper plus silver nitrate?

the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.


Will copper react with silver nitrate?

Yes it will. If you consider the electrochemical series of the elements, then you will notice that copper is more reactive than silver and hence it would react to silver nitrate to replace silver and form copper nitrate. Reaction:- Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq.) ------> Cu(NO3)2(aq.) + 2Ag(s)
