The equation 2AgNO3 + K -> 2KNO3 + 2Ag

Detailed information about the equation 2AgNO₃ + K -> 2KNO₃ + 2Ag
The above chemical equation describes the reaction process between silver nitrate (AgNO₃) and potassium (K) to form potassium nitrate (KNO₃) and silver (Ag).

Reaction conditions
This reaction requires high temperature to occur and the presence of oxygen in the air.

Reaction process
When silver nitrate and potassium come into contact with each other under high temperature conditions, the silver ion in silver nitrate will be reduced to pure silver by potassium taking away its electron. Potassium, having lost an electron, will combine with nitrate ions to form potassium nitrate.

Phenomena observed
When the reaction occurs, a phenomenon will appear where white silver powder is separated from the solution and settles at the bottom. The remaining solution after the reaction will contain potassium nitrate.
