    Copper sulphate solution reacts with KCN and gives:

    A)  \[{{K}_{3}}[Cu{{(CN)}_{4}}]\]  

    B)  \[CuCN\]

    C)  \[Cu{{(CN)}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[{{K}_{2}}[Cu{{(CN)}_{4}}]\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[CuS{{O}_{4}}+2KCN\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  cupric\text{ }cyanide \\  (unstable) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Cu{{(CN)}_{2}}}}\,\] \[2\,Cu{{(CN)}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{white\text{ }ppt}{\mathop{2CuCN}}\,+{{(CN)}_{2}}\] \[3KCN+CuCN\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  potassium\text{ }cuprocyanide \\  (solublecomplex) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{K}_{3}}\,[Cu\,\,{{(CN)}_{4}}]}}\,\]
