show with the help of an experiment that copper is more reactive than silver.plz giv the ans soon
- Take a clear solution of silver nitrate in 50 ml beaker.
- Put some copper nails ito the solution.
- After some times what you observe is that the clear solution in the beaker becomes blue in colour.
This is because copper dissolve in solution to form copper nitrate (blue in colour) , as it do so the silver in the solution gets precipitated out as metallic silver.
Cu +2AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag.
So Copper replaces Silver from its salt solution, this shows that Cu is more reactive than Ag.
