Which statement is correct about the reaction that occurs between copper and aqueous silver nitrate?

a) It is a single replacement reaction because two new compounds of copper and silver are formed.

b) It is a double replacement reaction because copper and silver exchange their non-metallic parts.

c) It is a single replacement reaction because copper replaces silver within a compound as copper is higher than silver in the activity series.

d) It is a double replacement reaction because the ions of copper and silver exchange places in an aqueous solution as copper is higher than silver in the activity series.

Respuesta :

Among the options, the correct statement is; "It is a single replacement reaction because copper replaces silver within a compound as copper is higher than silver in the activity series."

The reaction between copper and aqueous silver nitrate is written as;

Cu(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) ------> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s).

In this reaction, the copper atom replaced the silver atom in the compound silver nitrate. This is a single replacement reaction because only one atom was replaced from left to right.

Hence, the correct statement is that; " It is a single replacement reaction because copper replaces silver within a compound as copper is higher than silver in the activity series."
