Question

Why cannot we store $$AgNO_{3}$$ solution in copper vessel?

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Copper is above silver in the electrochemical series and is thus more reactive than silver.
So, copper displaces silver from silver nitrate. Hence, we cannot store $$AgNO_{3}$$ solution in a copper vessel.
Displacement Reaction taking place in the container:
$$\mathrm{Cu + 2AgNO_3 \to Cu(NO_3)_2 + 2Ag}$$
