Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} \cdot \mathrm{Na}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\right)_{2}\right], \mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{S}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The sequence of reactions are Hence, \(X=A g_{2} S_{2} O_{3}\) \(Y=\mathrm{Na}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\right)_{2}\right] Z=\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{S}\)
