Question
Identify the type of reaction taking place in the following case and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
Zinc reacts with silver nitrate to produce zinc nitrate and silver.
Solution
The given reaction is a displacement reaction in which more reactive zinc will displace less reactive silver from silver nitrate solution.
