You can separate silver and Copper b/c they have 2 different melting points. Slivers melting point is (961.78 °C, 1763.2 °F) and Coppers is (1084.62 C / 1984.32 F) getting the temp. to the excact melting point of sliver, while flating it to a thin sheet. should in theory melt off the silver, while the copper would stay in a solid state.

∙ 13y agoIn the final refining process, the almost pure copper is formed into plates that are placed between sheets of pure copper and immersed in a tank containing a chemical solution. An electric current is passed through the chemical solution, which causes the pure copper in the plates to dissolve slowly. The pure copper in the solution is then deposited on the sheets of pure copper. This process takes about a month to complete.

Copper plus silver nitrate?
the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.
When copper reacts with silver nitrate what element is set free?
If the silver nitrate is in aqueous solution and the copper is solid in contact with the solution of silver nitrate, copper atoms will dissolve as ions from the surface of the copper and be replaced by silver atoms formed from the silver ions in solution. This reaction will continue until the entire surface of the copper in contact with the solution is covered with silver. The chemical driving force for this reaction is displacement of one element from its compounds by another element that is higher in the electromotive series than the element displaced.
Is silver more reactive than copper?
Suspend a copper wire in a solution of silver nitrate. Over the course of a few hours the silver nitrate will convert to copper II nitrate, turning the solution blue. Elemental silver will precipitate.
What is the substance when copper and silver nitrate is combined?
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.
What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added is to a beaker of silver nitrate?
A displacement reaction, in which the copper dissolves to form copper nitrate and replaces silver ions in the original silver nitrate, reducing the silver ions to metallic silver.
Why is gold and silver in copper?
It isn't, gold(Au) , silver(Ag) and copper(Cu) are all separate elements. But if you're talking about when they add copper or silver to gold, it's to harden it, so you can't bend it in your hands.
What is Silver Nitrate plus copper?
As copper is more reactive than silver copper will displace silver and will become copper nitrate and silver is left by its own from the reaction
Is chariots of silver and copper a idiom?
No, "chariots of silver and copper" is not an idiom. It may be used literally to describe chariots made of silver and copper.
NAME OF A metal that replaces silver from silver nitrate solution?
copper will replace silver in silver nitratesolution will precipitate silver and oxidize copper turning to copper nitrate
What metals are not silver gray in color?
Copper and gold.
Is silver heavier then copper?
Silver is almost twice as heavy as copper.
Are copper and silver elements or compounds?
Copper and Silver are both elements. However the copper and silver objects you find in everyday life are unlikly to be 100% pure copper or silver. These objects will be made with copper or silver alloyed to other metals to improve its properties or decrease its cost.
If copper displaces silver from silver nitrate will silver displace copper ll nitrate?
No, copper replaces silver because it is more reactive than silver, and therefore more stable in a compound.
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.
How do you separate copper from it ore?
To separate copper from its ore, the process is called smelting. The copper and ore are heated and the copper turns to liquid which is then poured from the smelter.
Which weighs more copper or silver?
Copper has a higher density then silver. So a cubic inch of copper weighs more then a cubic inch of silver.
Can you stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon why or why not?
No, we cannot stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon because , copper is more reactive than silver. Thus,it would displace silver from the silver nitrate solution forming copper nitrate....
