If you mean copper plus zinc nitrate, it appears to be a single replacement (displacement). However, according to the reactivity series of metals, this reaction will not occur. In order for a metal to replace (displace) a metal in a compound, it must be more reactive than the metal in the compound. We can determine this by looking at a reactivity series. In a reactivity series, the metals are listed in descending order of reactivity, and a metal can replace only the metals that are below it in the series. Copper is below zinc in the reactivity series, so it cannot replace the zinc in zinc sulfate. So the equation would be:

Cu + ZnSO4 --> no reaction

Most often, these reactants yield zinc nitrate and elemental copper. It may be possible to control conditions so that instead the products are copper I nitrate and zinc nitrate, or a mixture of copper metal, copper I nitrate, and zinc nitrate could be formed.

if the first copper is copper (II), then the answer is Zn(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) yields Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)

Yes it does. Here is its equation(already balanced):

Zn + Cu(NO3)2 ----> Cu + Zn(NO3)2

Would copper and zinc nitrate react?

They could, since magnesium is more reactive than copper, and could displace it to form magnesium nitrate.


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.

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 is the product of copper chloride when reacting with silver nitrate?

copper nitrate and silver chloride Copper chloride reacts with silver nitrate to form copper nitrate and silver chloride. There are two types of copper chloride compounds. One is copper(I) chloride with the unit formula CuCl, and the other is copper(II) chloride with the unit formula CuCl2. The following are the two chemical equations for the two possible chemical reactions. CuCl + AgNO3 --> CuNO3 + AgCl CuCl2 + AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + AgCl
