Aqueous hypo solution on reaction with aqueous AgNO 3 gives :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
S 2 O 3 2– + 2Ag + ⎯→ Ag 2 S 2 O 3 ↓ (white) ; Ag 2 S 2 O 3 + H 2 O ⎯→ Ag 2 S ↓ (black) + H 2 SO 4
This hydrolytic decomposition can be accelerated by warming.
If hypo is in excess, then soluble complex is formed.
2S 2 O 3 2– + Ag + ⎯→ [Ag(S 2 O 3 ) 2 ] 3– (soluble complex) or [Ag(S 2 O 3 ) 3 ] 5–
