Detailed Solution

Copper solution will become blue when AgNO3 is added. The production of Cu2+ ions is what gives the colour blue. In the electrochemical hierarchy, silver comes before copper. Copper is positioned below Zn and K in the electrochemical series. As a result, copper has the ability to remove silver ions from its salt solution while K  and Zn are unable to do so, AgNO3.
