* Single Displacement: In this type of reaction, a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound.
Let's break down your equation:
* AgNO3: Silver Nitrate (compound)
* Cu: Copper (element)
* CuNO3: Copper Nitrate (compound)
* Ag: Silver (element)
In this reaction, copper (Cu) is more reactive than silver (Ag). Copper displaces silver from silver nitrate, forming copper nitrate and leaving silver as a solid.
Here's the balanced equation:
2AgNO3 + Cu → Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
