Question

What is the balanced chemical equation for the single replacement reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and copper (Cu)?

Answer 1

In a single replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. In this case, copper  Cu  will replace silver  Ag  in silver nitrate  AgNO3 . The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:2 AgNO3  aq  + Cu  s   Cu NO3 2  aq  + 2 Ag  s
