When sulphur is boiled with \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3\), a compound \((A)\) is produced. \((A)\) on reaction with excess \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution gives a compound \((B)\), which after dissolving in water produces a black coloured sulphide \((C)\). Identify the compound \((A),(B)\) and \((C)\).

  1. A \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_7, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_5, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{SO}_5, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When sulphur ( \(\mathrm{S}\) ) is heated with \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3\), a compound \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3(A)\) is produced. When \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) react with excess of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution, it will give a…
