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....


How do you displace silver from copper sulphate solution?

With science!


Why is there no colour change when a silver rod is put in blue copper sulphate solution?

Silver is less reactive than copper and so cannot displace it from a compound.


A metal which cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution?

Copper is a metal that cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution. This is because copper has a lower reactivity than zinc and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.


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.


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.


A silver spoon is kept immersed in an aqueous copper sulphate solution what changes will take place?

as silver is less reactive than copper the silver when immersed will loose its electrons and the copper will displace it. i apologize if it is the wrong answer.... this is actually a guess :P


Can you store copper sulphate solution in silver vessel but not in aluminium vessel?

It is not possible to store copper sulphate solution in iron vessel.since ,iron is more reactive than copper,it displaces copper from any if its solution.the reaction takes place as , Fe(s)+CuSo4(aq)..............>FeSo4(aq)+Cu(s) (Blue color(light green solution)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


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.


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum


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 .
