In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write the reaction involved.

Explanation

1) In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal.
2) `Cu_((s))+2AgNO_(3(aq))rarr Cu(NO_(3))_(2(aq))+2Ag_((s))`
3) This is redox reaction.
4) Copper is the reducing agent and silver is reduced.
5) Electrons from the copper metal are transferred to the silver.
6) Copper displaces the silver as it is more reactive.
7) Hence, this reaction is also a displacement reaction.
