In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write down the chemical equation of the reaction involved.

Answer 1

\[\ce{\underset{Silver nitrate}{2AgNO3_{(aq)}} + \underset{Copper}{Cu_{(s)}} -> \underset{Silver}{2Ag_{(s)}} + \underset{Copper nitrate}{Cu(NO3)2_{(aq)}}}\]
