Module 4: Chemical Reactions - Copper & Silver Nitrate (to produce Silver and Copper Nitrate) v. 1.3

This is the Base Model in Chemistry of Silver Nitrate and Copper.
2 AgNO3 (aq) + Cu (s) ---> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 Ag (s)

Assumptions in this model:
1- Each agent represent one atom or ion or ionic compound.
2- Each agent of water represents 1 mL of water.
3- Every gray copper represent 1/2 oxidation process.

When copper atom reacts with a silver ion, it turns gray as an indication of a change in oxidation state from 0 to +1. Once another silver ion reacts with copper of oxidation state +1 ending with oxidation state +2, that Cu(II) ion dissociates into solution.

Technical note: I set the slider on Silver Nitrate on purpose to jump in increments of 2 so that we do not end up with half an atom of copper left.
