One of the easiest ways is to prepare an aqueous solution of a soluble silver salt such as silver nitrate, then insert a piece of solid metallic copper into the solution. The copper will be coated with silver because of the reaction 2 Cu (s) + 2 Ag+1 (aq)-> Cu2+2 (aq) + 2 Ag (s).
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
You would need a mortar and pestle to crush and grind the clumps of copper sulfate into a fine powder for use in your experiment. This tool will help you break down the clumps into smaller particles, making the copper sulfate easier to dissolve or mix with other substances.
I just did an experiment on it and the obvious choice was copper. This was simply because of the "Reactivity Series" which lists metals from most reactive to least reactive. Furthermore copper was used for the original cars many years ago, however alloys such as steal prove to be tougher as well as cheaper which is mainly the reason why it is prefered.-glad i could help-
use nitric acid to dissolve silver metal ( nitric acid is harmfull) insert copper tube and silver then replaces the copper , which dissolves - pour the liquid off (corrosive) and you are left with silver slush which you wash through a filter and leave to dry. piff paff poof - silver powder. youtube will help you with this.
Most silver objects of everyday use are in fact Sterling Silver, which contains usually 7.5% of copper to improve its hardness and utility. The corrosion is often that of the copper component, and is made of various oxides, carbonates, sulphides and so on.Pure silver in fact tarnishes less, though it does still attain a patina of oxide.

Copper, Mercury, Platinum, Silver, Gold. check the reactivity series, it may help.
Copper is almost always mixed with silver. The presence of copper in silver alloys can help increase the durability and hardness of the metal.
Copper, borax, lead, gold, silver, lumber, uranium, and Oil

gold, uranium, silver iron,tin and copper wich help to make bronze
Yes, copper turning can be used as a test specimen to observe the effects of pH on copper corrosion. By subjecting copper turnings to different pH solutions and monitoring the rate of corrosion, one can determine how pH influences the corrosion of copper. This experiment can help in understanding the behavior of copper in different environments.
I guess I'm not the only person who needs help with their science homework.
You need to give more information. What color was the coin after the reaction, and did the silver nitrate solution change color?
a control experiement helps you set baselines for a normal situation. in other words your control experiment is purely what is normally going to happen in the experiements. when you know what normally happens and you have those results to hand, you then run the experiements including your variables, then you can compare the new results to the control results, and by finding out the differences between the two you should be able to determine what effect that variable has on a normal situation example experiment - you want to know how best to protect a metal wire from melting. (I've made this up, not done it!) control experiment - take a single strand of copper wire, connect it to an electric circuit, pump it full of 13A, 240v current and measure the time it takes to melt your control experiment determines that a normal copper wire will withstand the 13A, 240v for 15 seconds before melting. your variables: copper wires coated in: silver, gold, lead and aluminum. you run the same experiment with the same current, but with your varied wires and you find that: silver coat lasts 17secs, gold lasts 12secs, lead lasts 25secs and aluminum lasts 13secs using your control experiment you can now determine that the best way to prevent copper wires from melting is to coat them in lead, as the control shows us copper wire lasts for 15secs, however your variable of lead took 25secs does the explanation and example help?

I have a silver dollar of 1853 I think it is copper or bronze that was in circulation for wear, someone could help me know how much it cost? Thank you. my e-mail is superkin74@hotmail.com
