  • question_answer
    During the extraction of gold the following reactions take place \[Au+C{{N}^{-}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{{o}_{2}}}X,\,X+Zn\to Y+Au\] Here, X and Y respectively are

    A) \[{{\left[ Au(C{{N}_{4}}) \right]}^{3-}}\] and \[{{\left[ Zn{{(CN)}_{4}} \right]}^{2-}}\]

    B) \[{{\left[ Au(C{{N}_{2}}) \right]}^{-}}\] and \[{{\left[ Zn{{(CN)}_{6}} \right]}^{4-}}\]

    C) \[{{\left[ Au(C{{N}_{4}}) \right]}^{4-}}\]and \[{{\left[ Zn{{(CN)}_{4}} \right]}^{2}}\]

    D) \[{{\left[ Au(C{{N}_{4}}) \right]}^{4-}}\] and \[{{\left[ Zn{{(CN)}_{4}} \right]}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[4Au(s)+8C{{N}^{-}}(aq)+2{{H}_{2}}O(aq)\xrightarrow{{{O}_{2}}}\] \[4{{[Au\underset{X}{\mathop{{{(CN)}_{2}}}}\,]}^{-}}+4O{{H}^{-}}(aq)\] \[2{{[Au{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}(aq)+Zn(s)\to \underset{Y}{\mathop{{{[Zn{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{2-}}}}\,(aq)+2Au(s)\]
