If the zinc salt is soluble and the analogous silver salt is not, silver will displace the zinc as the silver salt precipitates out.
For example, zinc chloride is soluble, but the solubility of silver chloride is very low. If silver nitrate is added to a zinc chloride solution, silver chloride will precipitate out, leaving zinc nitrate in solution.
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
In this reaction, the zinc metal will displace silver ions in the solution because zinc is more reactive than silver. As a result, zinc will oxidize to form zinc ions while silver ions from the silver nitrate will be reduced to form silver metal. This reaction is an example of a single displacement reaction.
Yes, zinc will react with silver nitrate solution. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver, so zinc displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution to form zinc nitrate and silver metal.
A metal like iron or magnesium can remove zinc from a solution through a redox reaction where the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive zinc ions. For example, iron can displace zinc from a solution containing zinc ions to form iron ions and solid zinc.
Parts of the zinc near its interface with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate dissolve into zinc cations in the soution, and the corresponding electrical charge of silver cations is reduced to metallic silver, usually adhering to the surface of the remaining zinc.

Copper, silver, and gold are three safe examples.
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
Zinc is used for the recovery of silver from cyanide complex because zinc has a stronger affinity for cyanide compared to silver. When zinc is added to the cyanide solution, it displaces silver from the complex, forming insoluble silver-zinc alloy particles that can be easily separated. Copper is not used because it does not have a strong enough affinity for cyanide to displace silver effectively.
Yes, zinc will react with silver nitrate solution. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver, so zinc displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution to form zinc nitrate and silver metal.
Some of the silver ions from the silver nitrate solution are deposited as metallic silver on the contacted parts of the zinc vessel and are replaced by half as many zinc ions in the solution.

Yes, zinc can displace copper from gold chloride solution through a redox reaction. The zinc will react with the copper ions in the gold chloride solution, leading to the formation of copper metal and zinc chloride.
Ag does not replace Zn in a ZnSO4 solution because Ag is lower in the reactivity series compared to Zn. In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive metal will replace a less reactive metal in a compound. Since Ag is less reactive than Zn, it cannot displace Zn in the solution.
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
