Optimized by Seraphinite Accelerator
In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution involves displacement by copper metal through the following chemical reaction:
AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) β Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
In this reaction, the silver nitrate solution is mixed with copper metal, and the silver ions in the solution are displaced by the copper ions to form solid silver metal. The balanced chemical equation shows that for every mole of silver nitrate that reacts, one mole of silver metal is produced and one mole of copper nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) is formed.
