And I don't really understand your question without context....

#Cu^(2+) + CO_3^(2-) rarr CuCO_3(s)darr#

Explanation:

You have got #CuCO_3#, a metal carbonate, a salt. This really cannot be substituted by the parent metal. But you have not defined the scenario in which the salt and the metal are to participate... Over to you.
