When copper rod is placed in silver nitrate solution.
When copper rod is placed in silver nitrate solution the solution turns blue with silvery mirror.
The equation for the reaction is as follows-
CuCopper+2AgNO3SilvernitrateāCu(NO3)2Cupricnitrate+2AgāSilver
Give your observation along with equation:

(a) Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions ? Explain with equations of these reactions.
(b) Express the following facts in the form fo a balanced chemical equation :
"When a strip of copper metal is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, metallic silver is precipitated and a solution containing copper nitrate is formed"
When a strip of copper is placed in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, copper(II) nitrate and silver are formed. Name the type of reaction.
