Question
A copper plate was dipped in AgNO3 After certain time, silver from the solution was deposited on the copper plate. State the reason why it happened. Give the chemical equation of the reaction involved.
✓

Answer

Silver gets deposited on the copper plate because copper is more reactive than silver and hence displaces silver from silver nitrate solution.
$2\text{AgNO}_3\text{(aq)}+\text{Cu(s)}\rightarrow\text{Cu(NO}_3)_2\text{(aq)}+2\text{Ag(s)}$
