Question

The left side of a chemical reaction is shown.

Cu + AgNO3 →

Which type of reaction will the reactants undergo?

Responses

double displacement
double displacement - no response given

synthesis
synthesis - no response given

single displacement
single displacement - no response given

decomposition

Answer 1

The reaction shown involves copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3). In this case, copper, a more reactive metal, displaces silver from silver nitrate. This is characteristic of a **single displacement reaction**. Therefore, the correct response is:

**single displacement**.
