Double Displacement Reactions question

tweety27 · Post by **tweety27** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:36 pm

Here is the equation:

AgNO₃ + CuSO₄ = Ag₃SO₄ + Cu(NO₃)₂

I believe this is the answer, but where does the two come from in the products? How?

Please help.

Ag₃SO₄ doesn't make sense. Should be Ag₂SO₄ instead

This reaction will occur only in concentrated solution since Ag₂SO₄ is moderately soluble in water and will not form a precipitate from diluted solution

AgNO₃ + CuSO₄ = Ag₂SO₄ (ppt) + Cu(NO₃)₂
