Solution

In the case of silver metal, the sulphide ore is treated with sodium cyanide. Sodium argentocyanide complex is formed which on treating with zinc metal gives silver.

$A g_{2} S + 4 N a C N \to 2 N a [A g (C N)_{2}] + N a_{2} S$

$2 N a [A g (C N)_{2}] + Z n \to N a_{2} [Z n (C N)_{4}] + 2 A g ↓ .$
Soluble ppt

The process of extraction of silver is called the cyanide process.

Hence, the given statement is true.
