    The undecomposed AgBr in black and white photography is dissolved by hypo solution due to formation of the complex.

    A)  \[A{{g}_{2}}S\]                

    B)  \[{{[Ag{{({{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}]}^{3-}}\]

    C)  \[{{[Ag{{(S)}_{2}}]}^{3-}}\]                         

    D)  \[{{[Ag{{(S{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}]}^{3-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Silver halides are dissolved by sodium thiosulphate solution (hence, used in photography for fixing) \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Silver \\  bromide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{AgBr}}\,\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Sodium \\  thiosulphate \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\,2N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{align}   & Sodium\text{ }argento \\  & thiosulphate \\  & or \\  & {{[Ag{{(S{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}]}^{3-}} \\ \end{align}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{3}}[Ag{{({{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}]}}\,+NaBr\]
