Question
Chapter 20, Problem 38QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The extraction of silver from argentite ore, Ag2 S should be described.
Concept introduction:
The extraction of silver will be a reduction procedure. Here, a
The reaction will be set up on the basis of given information.
In this procedure of extraction, the argentite is first treated with sodium cyanide where it forms the sodium argento cyanide which is later reduced by zinc to precipitate the silver.

- A slag sample is known to contain all of its iron in the forms of FeO and Fe2O3. A sample of 1,000 g of the slag was dissolved in hydrochloric acid according to the usual method, then reduced with stannous chloride and finally titrated with a 0.02237 M solution of potassium permanganate, of which 28.59 mL were used. A second aliquot of the slag sample, weighing 1,500, was dissolved in a nitrogen atmosphere to further adjust the oxidation state of the iron, it was immediately titrated with the same potassium permanganate solution.
