The reaction between magnesium and silver nitrate is represented by the equation Mg (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 Ag (s). In this reaction, solid magnesium displaces silver from silver nitrate, resulting in magnesium nitrate and solid silver. The process demonstrates the principles of single displacement reactions in chemistry.
