Will lead replace silver in a reaction?

Lead is less reactive than silver on the reactivity series, so lead will not replace silver in a single displacement reaction. Silver will stay as it is in the reaction.


What is the reaction of silver with hydrofluoric acid?

Silver reacts with hydrofluoric acid to form silver fluoride and hydrogen gas. This reaction is generally slow and requires heating to accelerate the reaction. Silver fluoride is a white solid that is sparingly soluble in water.


What is reaction of sulphur and silver?

When sulfur reacts with silver, silver sulfide is formed. The chemical equation for this reaction is: 4Ag + S → Ag2S


Is tarnishing silver a chemical change?

Tarnish on silver is Silver Oxide, which is oxidised silver. This is indeed a chemical reaction.


What is the reaction between silver nitrate and potassium iodide?

The reaction between silver nitrate and potassium iodide forms silver iodide precipitate and potassium nitrate. This reaction is a double displacement reaction where the silver ions from silver nitrate switch places with the potassium ions in potassium iodide.


Does silver react with water, and if so, what is the nature of the reaction between silver and water?

Yes, silver does react with water, but the reaction is slow. Silver reacts with water to form silver oxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is not as vigorous as with other metals like sodium or potassium.


What does iron and silver nitrate make?

Iron and silver nitrate do not react to produce a single compound. However, a reaction between iron and silver nitrate would result in the displacement of silver from the silver nitrate solution, forming iron nitrate and silver metal. This reaction is a single displacement reaction.


Is the reaction of silver nitrate solution with hydrochloric acid is an acid and base reaction?

simply : 'no'. The classic reaction is 'acid + base = salt + water'. The reaction here is that of silver ion with the chloride ion in the acid. A white precipitate of insoluble silver chloride forms. This reaction is that used for testing for chloride ions.


Is tarnished silver an endothermic reaction?

No, tarnishing of silver is not an endothermic reaction. Tarnishing is a result of a chemical reaction with sulfur compounds in the air, which causes the silver to become dull and discolored. This reaction does not require an input of energy, making it a spontaneous process.


Silver chloride equals silver plus chlorine?

When silver chloride decomposes, it breaks down into silver and chlorine gas through a chemical reaction. This reaction is represented by the equation: AgCl(s) -> Ag(s) + Cl2(g).


What happens when you mix silver nitrate with sugar?

When you mix silver nitrate with sugar, a chemical reaction takes place that results in a black precipitate of silver metal forming. This reaction is a reducing sugar reaction, where the sugar acts as a reducing agent to convert the silver ion in silver nitrate into silver metal.


What type of reaction is AgNO3 Zn?

The reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and zinc (Zn) is a single displacement reaction, specifically a redox reaction. The zinc metal displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution, forming zinc nitrate and silver metal.
