Question

why cant we store silver nitrate in zinc vessel? give redox reaction involved

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

No, we cannot store silver nitrate solution in a zinc vessel. The reason is that the zinc being a more reactive metal than the silver displaces the silver from its nitrate solution to become zinc nitrate.

zinc + silver nitrate = zinc nitrate + silver.
