It is no reaction. Copper cannot replace sodium because it is lower on the reactivity series.
A reaction doesn't occur.
There is no equation because there is no reaction.
If the reaction includes copper (II): Cu + 2AgNO3 yields 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 If the reaction includes copper (I): Cu + AgNO3 yields Ag + Cu(NO3) Then spectator ions are dis regarded: 2Ag[ion] + Cu[metal] --> 2Ag[metal] + Cu[2+ ion]
Copper hydroxide is the precipitate.
A single-replacement reaction
How well it can replace other metals in a reaction. For example iron is more active than copper, because CuSO4 + Fe --> FeSO4 + Cu reaction occurs. And Cu + FeSO4 --> no reaction
There is NO reaction between Cu and Ag.
A metal and halogen react to form an ionic bond in which the metal gives an eletron to the halogen Most basic example would be table salt NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H20
Cu + AgNO3 --> Ag + Cu(NO3)2See formation of silver crystalshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgYhkVy5cBU
The balanced equation for this reaction is: Zn(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) → Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)
When sodium chloride (NaCl) reacts with zinc (Zn), the chemical reaction produces zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and releases sodium metal (Na).
Cu ion being a Lewis acid stabilized the intermediate formed while Na ion can not.
