Best Answer

if you apply to much heat to it can cause the copper to pool at the heat source. this happens because of the different melting temperature between the 2 metals. silver usually has about 7.5% copper in it.

What type of reaction would you get from copper and silver nitrate?

Copper and silver nitrate combining is called a single-replacement reaction. Copper would replace silver in the compound and the silver would become a solid precipitate.


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....


Does silver react with HCL?

Yeah it does. The equation would be silver+hydrochloric acid=silver chloride+carbon dioxide+water


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.


What would happen if a copper coin were kept immersed in a solution of silver nitrate write the word equation also?

copper is placed above the silver in the ractivity series which indicates that copper is more reactive than silver . when a copper coin is kept immersed in a solution of siler nitrate ,silver from its solution will deposit on copper coin . copper slowly displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution and the colour of solution changes from colourless to blue due to the formation of copper nitrate . the copper coin will disappear and silver will percipate out .

Does turquoise matches silver?

Yes you can get away with turquoise and silver, but I would recommend more of a copper brown color.


Why would your skin color change to green?

Copper has a reaction with skin that may turn it green or black. So if you have gold or silver jewelery since copper is one of the metals in these 2 to keep prices down this may be the most likely cause.

Would silver and copper form an ionic compound?

yes


Why is a 1986 penny silver in color?

While I was in photography class in high school, we used to go into the dark room and put pennies in the fixing agent trays. The copper would attract the silver that was left behind in the trays due to the developing process. The longer you left the copper in the tray, the more silver would be attracted to it. Works with other metals as well. Hope this helps.


What gemstone looks the most like copper what about tin?

First of all, no gemstone looks like copper. Copper is a metal, not a gemstone. Tin is silver or gray in color, like most other metals. The only pure metals that do not have a silver color are gold and cesium. Cesium is not an option for jewelry because it melts at just above room temperature and very readily catches on fire. So you only option other than copper or gold would be some sort of alloy such as brass, which is a copper-zinc alloy or bronze, which is a copper-tin alloy.
