Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) --> 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

According to the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver, so the copper will replace the silver in the silver nitrate compound.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series

The silver metal will precipitate out of solution, forming along the piece of copper, which goes into solution, combining with the aqueous nitrate ion. If this reaction goes to completion, all of the copper will go into solution as copper(II) nitrate, and all of the silver metal will precipitate out of solution.

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


How do you balance the equation silver nitrate plus copper metal equals silver metal plus copper nitrate?

If the copper nitrate formed is copper (I) nitrate, the equation balances with one atom of each metal and one formula weight of each nitrate. If the copper nitrate formed is copper (II) nitrate, the balanced equation is: 2 AgNO3 + Cu -> 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2.
