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.

Is copper more reactive than hydrogen?
No. Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper according to the reactivity series.
Which metals is more reactive copper or sodium?
I think sodium is more reactive than copper, because on the Reactivity Series list sodium is higher than copper.
Is Ag more reactive than K?
No: Potassium is much more reactive generally than silver.
Is ferrous sulphate more reactive than silver nitrate?
no for ferrous sulphate is less reactive than silver nitrate
What happens if you put copper into silver sulfate?
Silver has a higher reduction potential than copper (ie silver "wants" to be in reduced form - metalic form - "more" than copper does). If silver METAL (Ag0) is added to a solution of CuSO4, nothing happens since silver is already reduced and it wants to stay that way.
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
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.
What happens when a silver spoon is kept immersed in aqueous copper sulphate solution?
nothing will happen as copper is more reactive than silver.
Why is copper more reactive than zinc?
Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.
When cu and agno3 is heated what colour it gives and why?
It gives green color . Copper is more reactive than silver therefore it displaces silver from silver nitrate and forms silver + copper nitrate
Is copper more reactive then aluminium?
No, copper is less reactive than aluminum.
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....
Is silver more reactive than platinum?
No; silver is more reactive than platinum.
Why does Copper displaces silver from silver nitrate solution?
Due to it's electronic structure it is more reactive than silver and so will displace it from its compound.
Is copper more reactive than hydrogen?
No. Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper according to the reactivity series.
Why copper reacts with silver nitrate solution?
Copper is more reactive than silver and a displacement reaction occur:Cu + 2 AgNO3 = 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2
Is copper more reactive than gold?
Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
