Silver Nitrate Solution
I need to do a practical write-up for Chemistry about the reaction between Copper (Cu) and silver nitrate solution Ag(No3)2 and I have to write in the introduction a bit of background information about Copper and silver nitrate solution, but I can't find anything much on silver nitrate solution. Can somebody please help me?!

Hi, Ally. Silver nitrate is a soluble salt of silver. It can be used to deposit silver on copper
(see our Silver Plating at Home FAQ) or it can be mixed with a reducing agent to deposit silver on glass (look up mirror silvering or brashear process). It has been used medicinally at times, and some people have overdone it and turned permanently blue (really, see argyria). Good luck.
