A copper coin was kept dipped in silver nitrate solution for a hours or dayswhat will happen to the colours of solution?

If a copper coin is dipped in silver nitrate solution for hours or days, the solution will likely turn blue due to the formation of copper(II) nitrate. This reaction occurs as copper from the coin reacts with the silver nitrate in the solution.


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.


What is the advantage and disadvantage of silver nitrate?

Advantage: Silver nitrate has antibacterial properties and is used in medicine to prevent infections in wounds and burns. Disadvantage: Silver nitrate can stain the skin black upon exposure to light, and prolonged or excessive use can lead to argyria, a condition that causes the skin to turn blue-grey.


What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added to a beaker of silver nitrate?

A single-displacement reaction occurs where copper replaces silver in the silver nitrate solution to form copper(II) nitrate and solid silver. The blue color of the copper(II) nitrate solution turns a greenish-blue color due to the presence of excess copper ions.


What are the colors of silver metal and copper nitrate in water?

The colour of silver metal in water is whiteThe colour of copper nitrate in water is blue (due to the Cu++ ion).


What is the positive color of silver nitrate?

When testing silver nitrate, a whitish color will yield positive results. If the test is negative, the color will turn clear and it will remain transparent.


What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added is to a beaker of silver nitrate?

A displacement reaction, in which the copper dissolves to form copper nitrate and replaces silver ions in the original silver nitrate, reducing the silver ions to metallic silver.


What is chemical symbol for silver nitrate?

Silver nitrate = AgNO3


Is silver nitrate cations or anions?

Silver nitrate is a compound composed of silver cations (Ag+) and nitrate anions (NO3-).


Formula silver nitrate?

The chemical formula for silver nitrate is AgNO3.


What is the colour of copper metal after being placed in silver nitrate solution?

Copper metal will turn a silver color when placed in silver nitrate solution due to a displacement reaction where silver ions (Ag+) from the solution form solid silver metal on the surface of the copper.


What is the word equation for the reaction between copper and silver nitrate?

It would produce Silver and a blue solid called Copper Nitrate (Cu(NO3)2). It is caused by a replacement reaction where Copper replaced Silver in Copper Nitrate. The equation goes like this: Cu + Ag(NO3)2 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2
