You can separate silver and Copper b/c they have 2 different melting points. Slivers melting point is (961.78 °C, 1763.2 °F) and Coppers is (1084.62 C / 1984.32 F) getting the temp. to the excact melting point of sliver, while flating it to a thin sheet. should in theory melt off the silver, while the copper would stay in a solid state.

What type of mixture is copper wire in silver nitrate?

The copper wire in silver nitrate forms a heterogeneous mixture. In this case, the copper wire does not dissolve in the silver nitrate, so they physically remain as separate substances within the mixture.


Copper plus silver nitrate?

When copper is added to silver nitrate, a single displacement reaction occurs. The copper will displace the silver in the compound, forming copper(II) nitrate and silver. The silver will precipitate out of solution as a solid.


Copper will react with silver nitrate to form copper nitrate and silver?

In certain reaction conditions, yes. Copper is more reactive than silver, so it should react with the nitrate molecule to form copper nitrate while precipitating the silver. *Are you thinking about separating silver from photographic fixer? Commonly a less expensive metal is used like iron (steel wool) to extract much of the silver.


When copper reacts with silver nitrate what element is set free?

If the silver nitrate is in aqueous solution and the copper is solid in contact with the solution of silver nitrate, copper atoms will dissolve as ions from the surface of the copper and be replaced by silver atoms formed from the silver ions in solution. This reaction will continue until the entire surface of the copper in contact with the solution is covered with silver. The chemical driving force for this reaction is displacement of one element from its compounds by another element that is higher in the electromotive series than the element displaced.


What happens if you put copper into silver sulfate?

Silver has a higher reduction potential than copper (ie silver "wants" to be in reduced form - metalic form - "more" than copper does). If silver METAL (Ag0) is added to a solution of CuSO4, nothing happens since silver is already reduced and it wants to stay that way.

Why is gold and silver in copper?

It isn't, gold(Au) , silver(Ag) and copper(Cu) are all separate elements. But if you're talking about when they add copper or silver to gold, it's to harden it, so you can't bend it in your hands.

If copper displaces silver from silver nitrate will silver displace copper ll nitrate?

No, copper will not displace silver from silver nitrate and silver will not displace copper from copper nitrate. This is because the reactivity series dictates that silver is below copper, so copper can displace silver but not vice versa.


NAME OF A metal that replaces silver from silver nitrate solution?

copper will replace silver in silver nitratesolution will precipitate silver and oxidize copper turning to copper nitrate


Is chariots of silver and copper a idiom?

No, it means chariots with silver and copper on them.


What is Silver Nitrate plus copper?

When silver nitrate is added to copper, a redox reaction occurs where the Cu from copper displaces the Ag from silver nitrate. This results in the formation of copper nitrate and silver metal as a solid precipitate.

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 .


Is silver heavier then copper?

Silver is almost twice as heavy as copper.


What is formed from copper and silver chloride?

When copper is added to silver chloride, copper chloride forms as a result of a single displacement reaction. This reaction involves the copper displacing the silver in the compound, leading to the formation of copper chloride and silver.


Which of these metals, such as copper, silver, and gold, has the highest conductivity?

Out of copper, silver, and gold, silver has the highest conductivity.


Copper and silver solution?

When copper is added to a silver nitrate solution, a redox reaction occurs where copper displaces silver in the solution to form copper nitrate and elemental silver. This reaction is used in silver plating processes.
