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.

∙ 11y agoIt is the displacement process. According to activity series the Copper is more active than Silver. So, Silver is displaced by Copper from Silver Nitrate. At the end the products are Copper Nitrate and Silver. Copper Nitrate is in aqueous form and Silver is in solid form.
Chemical Equation: AgNo3(aq) + Cu(s) -----> CuNo3(aq) + Ag(s) .

∙ 14y agoSince copper is higher in the electromotive series than silver, copper will dissolve into the solution and be replaced on the surface of the copper turnings by metallic silver, until the entire surface is covered with silver or the amount of silver in the solution is exhausted. Copper ions will pass into solution to replace the positive charge removed from the solution by deposition of silver.

What substance is formed on the surface of copper metal when it is placed in a solution of silver nitrate?
Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag Silver breaks its bond with nitrate and Metallic Copper bonds to the nitrate with Silver changing into its metallic state or 0 charge state.
Copper plus silver nitrate?
the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.
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.
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.
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.
What substance is formed on a copper metal surface while in a silver nitrate solution?
Copper Nitrate
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.
What substance is formed on the surface of copper metal when it is placed in a solution of silver nitrate?
Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag Silver breaks its bond with nitrate and Metallic Copper bonds to the nitrate with Silver changing into its metallic state or 0 charge state.
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....
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
Why would sliver nitrate precipitate when in contact with copper?
Silver nitrate does not precipitate in this case; elemental silver does. In this reaction, silver nitrate reacts with copper to form elemental silver and copper II nitrate. The silver, which is a metal, is insoluble in water.
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
Is Silver nitrate pure substance or mixture?
Unadulterated silver nitrate is a pure substance.
Name of the product of copper and silver nitrate reaction?
copper nitrate :)
Copper plus silver nitrate?
the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.
Silver nitrate mixed with copper?
Silver nitrate and copper will undergo a double displacement reaction to produce copper (II) nitrate and silver. 2AgNO3 + Cu --> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
Copper will react with silver nitrate to form copper nitrate and silver From this reaction 127.1 grams of copper will produce how many grams of silver?
431.5 grams
