Correct for above reaction

$Ag\, + \,\mathop {NaCN}\limits_{(0.5\,\% )} \, + \,{H_2}O\, + \,{O_2} \to $ Soluble complex $\xrightarrow{{Zn}}\mathop B\limits_{complex} \, + \,Ag$

A

$A = Na [Ag(CN)_2]$

B

$B = Na_2[Zn(CN)_4]$

C

Oxidation-reduction process

D

All of these

Solution

The Parkes process is a process for removing silver from lead.

Electrolytic process gives the highest-purity metal product as well as the best recovery of valuable impurities. It is used for copper, nickel, lead, gold, and silver.

Reactions occurs in extraction of silver-

$A g_2 S+4 N a C N \rightarrow 2 N a\left[A g(C N)_2\right]+N a_2 S$ (reversible reaction)

$2 N a\left[A g(C N)_2\right]+Z n \rightarrow N a_2\left[Z n(C N)_4\right]+2 A g$

here we can also use $K$ instead of $Na$.

But by heating of $N a\left[ Ag ( CN )_2\right]$, Ag is not produced as on and heating $Na \left[ Ag ( CN )_2\right]$ forms a complex product of $Ag$ and not simple $Ag$.
