What is the role of zinc metal in the extraction of silver?

Solution

In the extraction of silver, zinc metal act as reducing agent. 
2[Ag(CN)2]-(aq.) + Zn(s) --> 2Ag(s) + [Zn(CN)4]2-(aq.)

What is the basicity of H3PO3?

Solution

H3PO3 ionises to give two H+ ions. Thus, it is dibasic in nature.
H3PO3 --> 2H+ + HPO2-3

Question
CBSEENCH12010450

An element with density 2.8 g cm−3 forms of the f.c.c. unit cell with edge length 4 X10−8 cm. Calculate the molar mass of the element.
(Given: NA = 6.022 X 1023 mol −1)

Solution

Edge length, a = 4 x 10-8 cm

Density, d = 2.8 g cm-3

As the lattice is fcc type, the number of atoms per unit cell, z is 4.

Avogadro's number, NA = 6.022 x 1023 mol-1

Molar mass can be calculated with the help of given relation:
