Copper metal can reduce silver ions to metallic silver. The copper is oxidized to copper ions according to the reaction 2Ag+ (aq) + Cu (s) → Cu 2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s) A copper strip with a mass of 2.80 g is dipped into a solution of AgNO3. After some time has elapsed, the copper strip is coated with silver. The strip is removed from the solution, dried, and weighed. The coated strip has a mass of 4.60 g. What are the masses of copper and silver metals in the strip? (Hint: Remember that the copper metal is being used up as silver metal forms.) Mass Cu = _____ g Mass Ag = ______ g

Question

Copper metal can reduce silver ions to metallic silver. The copper is oxidized to copper ions according to the reaction

2Ag+ (aq) + Cu (s) → Cu 2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s)

A copper strip with a mass of 2.80 g is dipped into a solution of AgNO3.

After some time has elapsed, the copper strip is coated with silver. The strip is removed from the solution, dried, and weighed. The coated strip has a mass of 4.60 g. What are the masses of copper and silver metals in the strip? (Hint: Remember that the copper metal is being used up as silver metal forms.)

Mass Cu = _____ g

Mass Ag = ______ g
