Question
In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involveddisplacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.
Solution
The reaction involved in the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution by displacement with copper metal is:
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Here's the step-by-step process:
- Copper (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3), which is in an aqueous solution.
- The copper displaces the silver in the silver nitrate compound, forming copper nitrate (Cu(NO3)2).
- The displaced silver (Ag) is then recovered as a solid.
