A) \[{{K}_{2}}[Cu{{(CN)}_{4}}]\]
B) \[[{{K}_{3}}\,{{(CuCN)}_{4}}]\]
C) \[CuC{{N}_{2}}\]
D) \[Cu[K\text{ }Cu{{(CN)}_{4}}]\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
| [b] \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] reacts with KCN gives a white precipitate of cuprous cyanide and cyanogen gas. The cuprous cyanide dissolves in excess of KCN forming \[K\,[Ag{{(CN)}_{4}}]\]. |
| \[CuS{{O}_{4}}+2KCN\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+Cu{{(CN)}_{2}}\] |
| \[2Cu{{(CN)}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{insoluble}}{\mathop{2CuCN}}\,+\underset{\text{cyanogen}}{\mathop{CN-CN}}\,\] |
| \[CuCN+3KCN\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{soluble}}{\mathop{{{K}_{3}}[Cu{{(CN)}_{4}}]}}\,\] |
