A copper plate was dipped into a solution silver nitrate. After sometimes, a black layer was observed on the surface of copper plate. State the reason for it and write chemical equation of the reaction involved |
|
Answer» When the copper plate is dipped in silver NITRATE SOLUTION then a chemical reaction takes place,
Hence, this is a displacement reaction where more reactive METAL (Copper) displaces LESS reactive metal (Silver) from it's compound (AgNO₃) Therefore a new compound, Cu(NO₃)₂ is FORMED in this reaction which has a black colour deposit on plate. |
