Detailed Solution

Baryta water becomes turbid on passing CO2 gas tbrough it but turbidity becomes clear on passing more CO2 gas. Because baryta water combines with carbon dioxide to form a white precipitate of barium carbonate, but when too much carbon dioxide is expelled, the carbonate ions change into bicarbonate ions.

Ba(OH)2+CO2BaCO3 (white ppt.)

BaCO3+H2O+CO2BaHCO32

When carbonates and silver nitrate combine, a white precipitate of silver carbonates is produced. If the precipitate's solution is heated, silver oxide with a yellow colour is obtained.

CO32+Ag+Ag2CO3 (white ppt.)

Ag2CO3 boiled Ag2O3 (yellow/brown ppt. +CO2

So both statements are true but statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1

As a result, choice B is correct.
