Bimetallism refers to a monetary standard or system based upon the use of two metals‚ traditionally gold and silver‚ rather than one (monometallism).

of solid copper metal‚ in the form of a wire‚ with aqueous silver nitrate. Before we began the lab‚ we hypothesized that when silver nitrate‚ AgNO3‚ reacts with copper‚ Cu‚ the oxidation number of silver (Ag) ions that form will be +1. The unbalanced chemical equation that we used to represent this reaction is Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2. In order to find the approximate masses of reactants needed to produce about 2 grams of silver‚ we found the molar masses of each of the reactants and products:
