This is a displacement reaction: Copper is (barely) higher in the electromotive series than silver, so that the silver in a compound can be displaced by copper, resulting in the formation of unreacted silver.
CuCl2 + 2AgNO3 -------> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgCl for Copper (II) Chloride CuCl + AgNO3 --------> CuNO3 + AgCl for Copper (I) Chloride
One possibility is Cu + AgNO3 => Ag + CuNO3.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 3Ni2S3 + 2Cu(NO3)2 → 6Cu2S + 3Ni(NO3)2. From the given weights, we first calculate the moles of each reactant, then determine the limiting reactant (Ni2S3 in this case). Using the stoichiometry from the balanced equation, the amount of Cu2S that can be formed from 42.35g of Ni2S3 is 42.35g * (6 mol Cu2S / 3 mol Ni2S3) = 84.7g Cu2S.
This reaction occurs because copper is more reactive than silver. The copper atoms lose electrons and become copper ions, while silver ions gain electrons and form solid silver crystals. The highly soluble copper nitrate is formed as a byproduct of the reaction.
Actually, the answer Cu(NO3)2 is incorrect for cuprous nitrate. Cu(NO3)2 is in fact cupric nitrate. Cuprous nitrate is represented as CuNO3 alone.
The reaction is:Cu + AgNO3 = Ag + CuNO3
One balanced equation for the reaction between elemental copper and silver nitrate is Cu + AgNO3 -> CuNO3 + Ag.
CuCl2 + 2AgNO3 -------> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgCl for Copper (II) Chloride CuCl + AgNO3 --------> CuNO3 + AgCl for Copper (I) Chloride

Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2 In this reaction, copper (Cu) is more reactive than silver (Ag), so it will replace silver in the compound AgNO3, resulting in the formation of silver metal and copper nitrate.
The requested equation is Cu + AgNO3 -> CuNO3 + Ag or Cu + 2 AgNO3 -> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag, depending on whether copper forms its (II) or (I) cations.
Copper chloride and silver nitrate react to form copper nitrate and silver chloride precipitate. Silver chloride is a white precipitate that forms when the two solutions are mixed due to the insolubility of silver chloride in water.
Using Solid Copper the complete reaction would be:Cu + 2 AgNO3 -> 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2The half reactions would be:Cu0 -> Cu2+ + 2 e-2 Ag+ + 2 e- -> 2 Ag0Note: NO3- is a spectator ion
Ah, what a lovely question! When copper metal reacts with silver nitrate, they exchange ions to form copper nitrate and silver metal. The balanced equation for this beautiful chemical dance is: 2AgNO3 + Cu -> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag. Just like painting a happy little tree, chemistry equations can be a work of art too!
Copper(II) Oxide: CuO reaction with Nitric Acid: CuO + 2 HNO3 => Cu(NO3)2 + H2O Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O reaction with Ntric Acid: Cu2O + 2HNO3 => CuNO3 + H2O
The chemical equation is:2 CuNO3 + Zn = Zn(NO3)2 + 2 Cu
