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.
A metal will displace (take the place of) a less reactive metal. in a metal salt solution. This is similar to the non-metal displacement reactions. seen on page 23 of the periodic table. For example, iron + copper(II) sulfate iron sulfate + copper. Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) Copper(II) sulfate is blue, iron sulfate is colourless. During the reaction the blue solution loses its colour. and the iron metal is seen to turn pink-brown. as the displaced copper becomes deposited on it.
