Silver metal is extracted from Ag_(2) S by cyanide process. The one is concentrated through froth floation process. The concentrated ore is the leached and solution is r ed with reducing agents to get spongy silver which then purified by fusion with an oxidant followed by electrolysis. Leaching of Ag_(2)S is carried out by heating it with a dilute solution of

Answer»

NACN alone
NaCN in presence of `O_(2)`
HCI
NaOH

Solution :Leaching of `Ag_(2)S: 2NA[AG(CN)_(2)]`
`4g_(4)S+4NaCN hArr 2Na Ag(CN)_(2)+Na_(2)S`
`4Na_(2)S+5O_(2)+2H_(2)O to 2Na_(2)SO_(4)+4NaOH+2S`
