    From argentite \[(A{{g}_{2}}S)\] ore the method used in obtaining metallic silver is [MP PMT 1989]

    A) Fused mixture of \[A{{g}_{2}}S\] and \[KCl\] is electrolysed

    B) \[A{{g}_{2}}S\] is reduced with \[CO\]

    C) \[A{{g}_{2}}S\]is roasted to \[A{{g}_{2}}O\]which is reduced with carbon

    D) Treating argentite with \[NaCN\] solution followed by metal displacement with zinc

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[A{{g}_{2}}S+4NaCN\to 2Na[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]+N{{a}_{2}}S\] \[2Na[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]+Zn\to N{{a}_{2}}[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]+2Ag\]
