Answer 1

The reaction shown is:

Cu + AgNO3 →

This is an example of a single displacement reaction (also known as a single replacement reaction). In this type of reaction, one element (Cu) displaces another element in a compound (Ag) to form a new compound (CuNO3) and release the displaced element (Ag).

Therefore, the correct response is:

single displacement
