    Experiment

    Submerse Cu(s) (copper) in AgNO3(aq) (silver nitrate)

    Wait for the chemical reaction and you will see Ag (silver) forming on the outside of the copper (it may look fuzzy) and replacing it, you now have 2Ag and Cu (NO3)2 on the exposed area of the copper.

    What happens?

    The copper is replacing the silver in the silver nitrate. This reaction is a single-replacement reaction. The solution turns blue. Copper nitrate is the end product.

    Equation and Explanation

    This chemical equation is an example of a single-replacement reaction. The Cu and the Ag switched places so to say. Resulting in Ag (silver, the fuzzy stuff) and Cu(NO3)2<

    Balanced, the equation looks like this:

    Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

    The molar mass of this compound is 296.524
