Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the First Situation

In the first situation, a strip of solid silver metal is placed into a beaker containing a $0.057 \, M$ solution of $\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}$. To determine if a chemical reaction occurs, we need to consider the reactivity of silver and copper ions.

Silver (Ag) is less reactive than copper (Cu), meaning that silver cannot displace copper from its compound. Therefore, no chemical reaction will occur in this situation.

Step 2: Analyze the Second Situation

In the second situation, a strip of solid copper metal is placed into a beaker containing a $0.084 \, M$ solution of $\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}$. Copper is more reactive than silver, so it can displace silver from its compound.

The chemical reaction that occurs is: \[ \mathrm{Cu} (s) + 2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} (aq) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag} (s) + \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2} (aq) \]

Final Answer

\[ \begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|} \hline \text{situation} & \text{chemical reaction?} & & \text{chemical equation} \\ \hline \text{A strip of solid silver metal is put into a beaker of } 0.057 \, M \, \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2} \text{ solution.} & \text{no} & & \\ \hline \text{A strip of solid copper metal is put into a beaker of } 0.084 \, M \, \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} \text{ solution.} & \text{yes} & & \mathrm{Cu} (s) + 2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} (aq) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag} (s) + \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2} (aq) \\ \hline \end{array} \]

\(\boxed{\text{no}}\)

\(\boxed{\text{yes}, \, \mathrm{Cu} (s) + 2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} (aq) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag} (s) + \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2} (aq)}\)
