Leaching of A g 2 S is carried out by heating it with dilute solution of
Options
- ANaCN only
- BHCl
- CNaOH
- DNaCN in presence of O 2
Correct answer
D. NaCN in presence of O 2
Step-by-step solution
Leaching of A g 2 S is carried out by heating it with dilute solution of NaCN in presence of O 2 . A g 2 S + 4 N a C N → A i r 2 N a [ A g CN 2 ] + N a 2 S 2 Na [ Ag CN 2 ] + Zn dust → Na 2 [ Zn CN 4 ] + 2 Ag ↓
