The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reactions of silver sulfide (Ag₂S) with sodium cyanide (NaCN) and zinc (Zn), we will break down the reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Reaction of Ag₂S with NaCN When silver sulfide (Ag₂S) reacts with sodium cyanide (NaCN), it forms a complex ion. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{S} + 4 \text{NaCN} \rightarrow 2 \text{Na}[\text{Ag(CN)}_2] + \text{Na}_2\text{S} \] Here, the silver ions (Ag⁺) from silver sulfide react with cyanide ions (CN⁻) to form a complex ion, specifically the dicyanoargentate complex \([\text{Ag(CN)}_2]^-\). ### Step 2: Identify Compound A From the reaction above, we see that the product formed is the complex ion \([\text{Ag(CN)}_2]^-\) along with sodium sulfide (Na₂S). Therefore, the compound A is: \[ \text{A} = \text{Na}_2[\text{Ag(CN)}_2] \] ### Step 3: Reaction of Ag₂S with Zinc (Zn) Next, when silver sulfide (Ag₂S) reacts with zinc (Zn), the zinc reduces the silver ions while being oxidized itself. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{S} + \text{Zn} \rightarrow 2 \text{Ag} + \text{ZnS} \] In this reaction, zinc displaces silver from silver sulfide, resulting in the formation of elemental silver (Ag) and zinc sulfide (ZnS). ### Step 4: Identify Compound B From the reaction above, we see that the products formed are elemental silver and zinc sulfide. Therefore, the compound B is: \[ \text{B} = \text{ZnS} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the compounds A and B are: - A = Na₂[Ag(CN)₂] - B = ZnS
