A copper coil is placed inside a solution of silver nitrate. What would you expect to see after 5 minutes? Choose 2 options.
There is no visible change because no displacement reaction took place. Copper, being less reactive than silver, cannot displace silver from silver nitrate.
Silver crystals were formed on copper coil, because copper (being more reactive than silver) displaced silver from silver nitrate.
What is the most likely identity of the metal on the filter paper?
Copper, because it is grey.
Potassium, because it can be cut with a knife showing it is soft.
Iron, because it looks grey and all iron looks grey.
