  • Iron and Silver Nitrate Reaction: Displacement Explained
    Yes, iron plus silver nitrate is a displacement reaction.

    Here's why:

    * Iron is more reactive than silver. This means iron can displace silver from its compound.

    * The reaction: Iron (Fe) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO₃) to form iron(II) nitrate (Fe(NO₃)₂ ) and silver (Ag).

    The chemical equation:

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