Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) -> Ag(s) + Cu+(aq) In this equation: Ag+(aq) represents silver ions in aqueous solution, Cu(s) represents copper in its solid state, Ag(s) represents silver in its solid state, Cu+(aq) represents copper ions in aqueous solution. Dropping silver out of solution. By introducing solid copper to silver nitrate, a chemical reaction occurs. An exchange of ions between copper and silver causes silver atoms to become neutral and pop out of the solution as a solid. Science baby!
