Question
This equation models how pure silver (Ag) is extracted from ores of AgK(CN)2 (potassium argentocyanide), which is mined from the earth.
Zinc is a reactant in the equation, and it is needed in order to extract the silver from the potassium argentocyanide ore.
2AGK(CN)2 (aq) + Zn(s) → 2 Ag(s) + Zn(CN)2 (ag) + 2KCN(aq)
