1 what are some of the physical properties of your reactants?

2 what are some of the physical properties of your products?

3 What evidence is there that a chemical reaction took place?

4 How many moles of copper do you predict will be used up in the reaction? How many grams of copper?

5 how does your prediction in question 4 compare to the actual amount of copper used up? How do you explain any discrepancies?

6 How many moles of the solid product actually obtained compare to your prediction in question 5? What is your percent yield?

Explanation / Answer

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) -----> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) this eqn gives the physical properties of the reactant and the product This is a redox reaction because the oxidation number of Ag goes from +1 to 0 and Cu goes from 0 to +2. thus the reaction occurs
