1.	When a copper wire was left in silver nitrate solution for sometime, it was observed that thesolution turned bluish green. (i) Explain the observation . (ii) Write the balanced chemical equation to represent thechange taking place.
Answer» Solution :(i) COPPER is more reactive than silver. Hence, when copper wire is dipped in silver nitrate solution, it DISPLACES silver from `AgNO_(3)` solution formingcopper nitrate which is blush green in COLOUR. (II) `Cu+2AgNO_(3)rarrunderset(("Copper (II)nitrate bluish green"))(Cu(O_(3))_(2))+underset(("Silver"))(2Ag)`
