It is true some food products labeled as baby carrots are made by cutting down larger roots, and that these items can be treated with chlorine during processing. However, itâs not true thereâs anything wrong with the larger carrots theyâre made from, or that the resultant vegetables reach consumers in a chlorine-soaked state.
The silver is reduced to elemental silver and the copper is oxidized to copper(II): Cu(0) + 2AgNO 3 = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2Ag(0). The silver crystallizes at the surface of the copper and the copper wire quickly becomes coated with a bunch of elemental silver.
Cut a 25-cm piece of copper wire and loosely coil it into the shape shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Find the initial mass of the copper wire to the nearest 0.01 g and record it in the data table- Use a wooden splint to suspend the copper wire in the silver nitrate solution, as shown in Figure l. The copper wire should not be toaching the bottom or sides of the beaker. Carefully add 3 drops of 3 M nitric acid to the beaker.
