Complex salt
« on: April 25, 2012, 07:42:16 AM »
Determine the formula of a complex salt if 1 mole of that salt, after an explosion gives 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of a gass. When the gass reacts with 2 moles of O2, then 2moles of CO2 and 1 mole of N2 are made.
I don't have the answer for this one. I thought it's maybe Ag[Ag(CN)2] because the gass that reacts with O2 must have N and C. Is it right?

Well, I think you DO have the answer. Ag[Ag(CN)2] sounds about right. And the gas that is evolved is cyanogen, if I'm not wrong

Though the problem is with explosive property of silver cyanide.
