Question

Metallic sliver may be obtained from AgCl by

(a) Heating it in a current of H₂

(b) Fusing it with sand

(c) Treatment with Cd and H₂SO₄

(d) Fusing it with Na₂CO₃

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Fusing it with Na₂CO₃

On fusing AgCl with Na₂​CO₃​, metallic silver is obtained.

\(2Ag Cl +Na_2 CO_3 \xrightarrow {Fuss} \underset {metallic\,sliver}{2\,Ag} \downarrow +2 NaCl + CO_2 + \frac {1}{2} O _2\)
