Yes it will.

If you consider the electrochemical series of the elements, then you will notice that copper is more reactive than silver and hence it would react to silver nitrate to replace silver and form copper nitrate.

Reaction:-

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq.) ------> Cu(NO3)2(aq.) + 2Ag(s)

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.


How could you react silver nitrate and copper?

By dissolving the silver nitrate in water, then stirring finely divided copper into the water. The copper will displace silver from the silver nitrate as a solid and form copper 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.


Will copper and silver nitrate react?

Give balanced equation when copper reacts with silver nitrate.Add: 2AgNO3 + Cu ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgThis is a single replacement reaction in which copper replaces the silver in the silver nitrate, resulting in the formation of elemental silver, which will precipitate out of solution.


What changes will occur if a copper coin is stored in silver nitrate and why?

If a copper coin is stored in silver nitrate, a chemical reaction will occur where the copper will react with the silver nitrate to form copper nitrate and silver metal. This reaction results in the silver coating the copper coin, giving it a silver appearance due to the deposition of silver metal on its surface.


What type of solution is copper nitrate?

first of all which are we talking? Copper (I) Nitrate or Copper (II) Nitrate 2nd, It is an Ionic Solution that will react with any metal except mercury, silver, platinum, and gold.


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.


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


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.


What is the colour change for copper(ii)sulfate and silver nitrate?

When copper (II) sulfate reacts with silver nitrate, a white precipitate of silver sulfate is formed. Copper (II) ions from copper (II) sulfate react with nitrate ions from silver nitrate to form a soluble salt.


Would copper react with copper(II) nitrate?

No, copper will not react with copper(II) nitrate under normal conditions. Copper is lower in the reactivity series than copper(II) nitrate, so no reaction will occur.


Is silver more reactive than copper?

Suspend a copper wire in a solution of silver nitrate. Over the course of a few hours the silver nitrate will convert to copper II nitrate, turning the solution blue. Elemental silver will precipitate.
