Learning ObjectivesIn this activity, you'll practice determining the limiting reagent for a reaction between silver nitrate and copper metal. In part 1 you'll make the measurements you need so you can predict the amount of silver produced. In part 2 you'll be able to measure how much silver was actually produced. Finally you will be asked to consider possible reasons for the discrepancy. Part 1: Describe the ReactionIn this activity, you will be observing a reaction where copper and silver nitrate react to form copper (II) nitrate and silver.1.Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.2AgNO3 Cu -> 2Ag Cu(NO3)2Score: 0 / 12.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction equation is;

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) -> 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

When we balance chemical reaction equations, we ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side of the reaction equation is exactly the same number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

Let us consider this reaction;

There are two atoms of Ag on both sides of the reaction equation

There are six atoms of O on both sides of the reaction equation

There are 2 atoms of N on both sides of the reaction equation

There is one atom of Cu on both sides of the reaction equation.

Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

answer: they produce more slow than unicellular organisms.
