  • Copper and Silver Nitrate Reaction: Identifying the Released Element
    When copper reacts with silver nitrate, silver (Ag) is set free.

    Here's the chemical reaction:

    Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s)

    In this reaction:

    * Copper (Cu) is more reactive than silver (Ag).

    * Copper displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution, forming copper nitrate (Cu(NO₃)₂) and leaving silver as a solid.
