- This equation describes the redox reaction process between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and iron (Fe). In this process, iron is oxidized from an oxidation state of +0 to +2, while the silver nitrate ion is reduced from +1 to +0.
- Reaction conditions:
- The normal condition for this reaction is room temperature. However, increasing the temperature can help accelerate the reaction rate.
- Reaction process:
- Iron reacts with silver nitrate solution, resulting in the formation of iron nitrate ions and silver atoms. The silver atoms are released and can be recorded as silver powder.
- Phenomena occurring:
- The visible phenomenon when the reaction occurs is the formation of white silver powder. At the same time, the initial transparent solution gradually turns reddish-brown due to the formation of iron nitrate ions.
Note: This reaction should be performed under the supervision of experienced individuals as both reactants can pose health issues if not handled properly.
