Solution

Dear student

when a strip of copper metal is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, copper being a more reactive element displaces silver from its nitrate solution and forms copper nitrate with silver being deposited on copper strip.

2AgNO₃+ Cu --------- Cu (NO₃)₂ + 2 Ag

When a copper strip is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, what happens to the colour of the solution?

Q. A student was given two metal strips X and Y alongwith colourless silver nitrate solution to perform two separate displacement reactions. When the student placed metal strip X in silver nitrate solution for a considerable time, he observed that the solution turned blue and a coating of silver metal was formed on the strip. And when the student immersed metal strip Y in silver nitrate solution for an equal time, he observed that the solution turned light green with the formation of a coating of silver metal on the strip. The correct conclusion of the student about the identity of metals X and Y is :
(1) X is copper and Y is magnesium
(2) X is zinc and Y is copper
(3) X is iron and Y is copper
(4) X is copper and Y is iron
