Ag 2 S +4 NaCN +2 O 2 arrow 2 Na [ Ag ( CN )2]+ Na 2 SO 4 X is S and Y is O 2

Q. In the extraction of silver from argentite ore the ore is treated with dilute solution of $N a CN$ in water in the presence of $Y$ , whereby the following reaction takes place
$A g_{2} X + 4 N a CN + 2 Y \to 2 N a [A g (CN)_{2}] + N a_{2} X O_{4}$
$X$ and $Y$ in this reaction are represented by

$Cl$ and $S$

$S$ and $O_{2}$

$O$ and $O_{2}$

$O$ and $S^{2}$

$A g_{2} S + 4 N a CN + 2 O_{2} \to 2 N a [A g (CN)_{2}] + N a_{2} S O_{4}$
$X$ is $S$ and $Y$ is $O_{2}$
