Solution
The correct option is AKOH (1)2AgNO3+2KOH→Ag2O(black)+2KNO3+H2O excess KOH no reaction (2)AgNO3CN−→AgCN(white)CN−−−−−→excessAg(CN)−2 (soluble) (3) AgNO3S2O2−3→Ag2S2O3(white)S2O2−3−−−−→excessAg(S2O3)3−2(soluble)
(4) AgNO3NH3→Ag2O(black)NH3−−−−→excess[Ag(NH3)2]+ (soluble) Hence, (2), (3) & (4) are not the answers.
