Detailed Solution

   The solution is likely to be the solution of AgNO3.      The above reaction will be a displacement reaction where a more reactive element will displace a less reactive element. For copper to perform a displacement reaction, the Cu has to displace the metal cation from the solution. Since Fe and Mg are more reactive than Cu hence, Cu cannot displace them from the solution. But in the case of AgNO3, Ag has a lower reactivity than Cu and hence can be displaced by Cu. AgNO3 also is a colourless solution which turns blue when Cudisplaces Ag and forms Cu(NO3)2
Cu + AgNO3  Cu(NO3)2+ Ag
