Question

Aqueous hypo solution on reaction with aqueous AgNO3 gives :

Options

A.yellow precipitate changing to black
B.white precipitate changing to black
C.orange precipitate to blue
D.orange precipitate to blue

Solution

S2O32- + 2Ag+ →  Ag2S2O3↓ (white)  ; Ag2S2O3 + H2O → Ag2S↓ (black) + H2SO4
This hydrolytic decomposition can be accelerated by warming.
If hypo is in excess, then soluble complex is formed.
2S2O32- + Ag+ →  [Ag(S2O3)2]3- (soluble complex) or [Ag(S2O3)3]5-
