The chemical reaction between solid copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is shown below:

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

The reaction starts with a thick copper wire in a clear and colorless solution of silver nitrate. The reaction forms solid silver (Ag) as the copper dissolves in the solution and reacts with silver nitrate. Explain one way you could increase the rate of this reaction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

• Increase temperature

• Increase concentration-Increase concentration of the Silver nitrate or of the copper.

• Increase surface area-Grind the copper into powder of break it up into smaller pieces.
