The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question step by step, we will analyze the reactions involving silver sulfide (Ag₂S) and sodium cyanide (NaCN), followed by the reaction with zinc (Zn). ### Step 1: Identify the reaction of Ag₂S with NaCN When silver sulfide (Ag₂S) reacts with sodium cyanide (NaCN), it forms a complex compound known as sodium di-cyano-argentate. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{S} + 4 \text{NaCN} \rightarrow 2 \text{Na}_2\text{[Ag(CN)}_2\text{]} + \text{Na}_2\text{S} \] In this reaction, sodium sulfide (Na₂S) is also produced alongside the complex. ### Step 2: Identify the complex formed The complex formed in the reaction is sodium di-cyano-argentate, which can be represented as: \[ \text{Na}_2\text{[Ag(CN)}_2\text{]} \] This complex is denoted as (a) in the question. ### Step 3: Reaction of the complex with zinc (Zn) Next, the sodium di-cyano-argentate complex reacts with zinc. Zinc is a more reactive metal than silver and can displace silver from the complex. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ \text{Na}_2\text{[Ag(CN)}_2\text{]} + \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{[Zn(CN)}_4\text{]} + 2 \text{Ag} \] In this reaction, sodium tetra-cyano-zincate is formed along with the precipitation of silver metal. ### Step 4: Identify the products (a) and (b) From the reactions: - (a) is sodium di-cyano-argentate \(\text{Na}_2\text{[Ag(CN)}_2\text{]}\) - (b) is zinc (Zn), which is the metal used in the reaction. ### Final Answer Thus, (a) is sodium di-cyano-argentate, and (b) is zinc. ---
