3. Reaction of copper metal with aqueous silver nitrate
Observations: Blue color of the solution fades, and a solid silver metal is formed.
Reaction Type: Single displacement reaction
Balanced Reaction: (including states)
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Oxidation States of atoms in reactants
Cu = 0, Ag = +1
Oxidation states of atoms in products
Cu = +2, Ag = 0
Substance Oxidized? Copper
Substance Reduced? Silver
Oxidizing Agent? Silver nitrate
Reducing Agent? Copper
Number of electrons transferred: 2
