The above chemical equation illustrates the reaction process between iron (Fe) and silver nitrate (AgNO3), resulting in ferric nitrate (Fe(NO3)3) and silver (Ag). 1 mol Fe reacts with 5 mol AgNO3 to yield 2 mol Fe(NO3)3 and 5 mol Ag.
- Reaction conditions
This reaction takes place under room temperature conditions, standard pressure, and requires the presence of an acidic environment.
- Reaction process
Fe + 5AgNO3 -> 2Fe(NO3)3 + 5Ag
In this process, iron (Fe) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3), leading to the formation of ferric nitrate (Fe(NO3)3) and the release of silver (Ag).
- Phenomena occurring
During the reaction process, iron is oxidized into ferric nitrate, while silver in silver nitrate is reduced to metallic silver. The observable phenomenon is the appearance of silver particles clinging to the surface of the iron.
