Why is silver produced when a copper wire and silver nitrate a put together?

This is because Copper being a more reactive metal than Silver displaces it from its salt...
The chemical equation is:
Cu + AgNO3 = Ag + Cu(NO3)2

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.
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

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
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 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 hydrogen produced when copper reacts with silver nitrate?
No, the reaction is: 2AgNO3+Cu=Cu(NO3)2+2Ag
