It is true some food products labeled as baby carrots are made by cutting down larger roots, and that these items can be treated with chlorine during processing. However, itâs not true thereâs anything wrong with the larger carrots theyâre made from, or that the resultant vegetables reach consumers in a chlorine-soaked state.
The silver is reduced to elemental silver and the copper is oxidized to copper(II): Cu(0) + 2AgNO 3 = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2Ag(0). The silver crystallizes at the surface of the copper and the copper wire quickly becomes coated with a bunch of elemental silver.
Silver nitrate is a strong oxidizer, but the solution is fairly dilute. Wear goggles. Avoid getting silver nitrate solution on your skin. If your skin comes into contact with silver nitrate solution, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. If you get silver nitrate solution in your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help.
