Chemical equation of reaction between iron and silver nitrate

The chemical equation of the reaction between iron and silver nitrate is Fe+2AgNO3=2Ag+Fe(NO3)2. This is the standard displacement reaction. Because iron is more metallic than silver, silver can be replaced from its salt solution. Because AgNO3 is not acidified and nitrate does not show strong oxidation, Fe(NO3)2 will not be oxidized to Fe(NO3)3, and the final product is Fe(NO3)2.

1, Iron (English: iron), a common metal element, chemical symbol Fe, atomic coefficient 26, relative atomic mass 55.85, located in VIII group of the fourth period of the periodic table of elements, with valence electron shell structure of [Ar]3d64s2. Pure iron is usually silvery white or gray with certain toughness and ductility, and iron powder is black to gray. The highest oxidation state of iron is +6, and other lower oxidation states can be found in some complex compounds, among which +2 and +3 are the most common. Iron widely exists in nature, occupying 4.75% of the crust, second only to oxygen, silicon and aluminum, and ranking fourth among all elements.

2. The chemical formula of silver nitrate (English: Silver NO3) is AgNO? , is an inorganic compound, the molar mass is 169.87 g/mol, and pure silver nitrate is colorless or white crystal. Silver nitrate is easily soluble in water and ammonia water, and pure silver nitrate is stable to light. However, its aqueous solution and solid need to be preserved in brown reagent bottle due to insufficient product purity, and usually decompose when exposed to light. Silver nitrate was listed in the List of Explosive Hazardous Chemicals by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China (version 20 17), and is generally prepared by the reaction of silver with nitric acid. It is widely used in photography, chemical industry and medicine.
