Copper is more reactive than silver, and thus will replace silver in compounds. Thus Silver oxide will become copper oxide, and silver hydroxide will become copper hydroxide, and the silver will plate out on the copper. Makes silver plating copper super easy, simply dip in a silver nitrate solution.
