Question

what is the ionic equation of silver nitrate solution and copper metal

Answer:

Copper is more active metal than silver, so copper can replace silver in its solution:

$$AgNO_3 + Cu = Cu(NO_3)_2 + Ag$$

Ionic equation:

$$Ag^+ + NO_3^- + Cu = Cu^{2+} + NO_3^- + Ag$$

Net ionic equation:

$$Ag^+ + Cu = Cu^{2+} + Ag$$
