Question
What will happen if a strip of copper is kept immersed in a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3)?
Solution
If a strip of copper is kept immersed in a solution of silver nitrate, the solution gradually becomes blue due to the formation of copper nitrate and a shiny greyish-white deposit of silver is formed on the copper strip.
2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
