The chemical reaction between solid copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is shown below: Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

The reaction starts with a thick copper wire in a clear and colorless solution of silver nitrate. The reaction forms solid silver (Ag) as the copper dissolves in the solution and reacts with silver nitrate. Explain one way you could increase the rate of this reaction.

The lattice enthalpy (formation of ionic solid from ions in the gas phase) for agcl(s) is -916 kj/mol and the hydration enthalpy (dissolution of gaseous ions into water) is -850 kj/mol. how much heat (in joules) is involved in forming 1l of saturated agcl solution (1.8 × 10-4 g / 100 ml water) by dissolving agcl(s)? assume solution volume does not change much upon dissolution. the equations are given below. ag+(g) + cl−(g) æ agcl(s)
