Solution
The copper coin will aquire a coating of silver when a copper coin is kept immersed in a solution of siler nitrate ,silver from its solution will deposit on copper coin . copper slowly displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution and the colour of solution changes from colourless to blue due to the formation of copper nitrate . the copper coin will disappear and silver will percipate out .
Since copper metal is more reactive than silver metal thus, when copper coin is kept immersed in silver nitrate solution for some time, it displaces silver from silver nitrate solution. Reaction involved
