Question

A certain metal (A) is boiled in dilute nitric acid to give a salt (B) and an oxide of nitrogen (C). An aqueous solution of (B) with brine gives a precipitate (D) which is soluble in ammonium hydroxide. On adding aqueous solution of (B) to hypo solution, a white precipitate (E) is obtained. (E) on standing turns to a black compound.Compound (A) to (F) are identified as:
(A) : Ag; (B) : AgNO3, (C) : NO2 , (D) : AgCl, (E) : Ag2S2O3 and (F) : Ag2S
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

When silver metal (compound A) is boiled in dilute nitric acid, it forms silver nitrate (compound B) and nitrogen dioxide gas (compound C).
Ag+2HNO3boilAgNO3+NO2+H2O
Silver nitrate reacts with NaCl to form white precipitate of silver chloride (compound D) which dissolves in ammonium hydroxide.
AgNO3+NaClNaNO3AgClwhite
Silver nitrate reacts with hypo solution to form a white precipitate of Ag2S2O3 which is compound .
2AgNO3+Na2S2O3Ag2S2O3white+2naNO3
On standing Ag2S2O3 turns to black Ag2S which is compound F.
Ag2S2O3+H2OAg2Sblack+H2SO4
