Detailed Solution

The salt X(NO3)2 is copper nitrate.
The metal X is copper (Cu), and the metal Y is silver (Ag). According to the reactivity series of metals, copper is a more reactive metal than silver. So, copper will displace silver from its silver nitrate solution. Here, the displacement reaction leads to the formation of copper nitrate [Cu(NO3)2], which makes the solution blue and the release of silver metal from its salt solution (AgNO3) in the form of a shiny white deposit. The reaction involved is:
Cu(s) +2AgNO3 (aq)  Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)
