In the process of extraction of gold,
Roasted gold ore + CN– + H2O \(\xrightarrow{\mathrm{O}_{2}}\)[X] + OH–
[X] + Zn→ [Y] + Au
Identify the complexes [X] and [Y]
Roasted gold ore + CN– + H2O \(\xrightarrow{\mathrm{O}_{2}}\)[X] + OH–
[X] + Zn
Identify the complexes [X] and [Y]
- X = [Au(CN)2]–, Y = [Zn(CN)4]2–
- X = [Au(CN)4]3–, Y = [Zn(CN)4]2–
- X = [Au(CN)2]–, Y = [Zn(CN)6]4–
- X = [Au(CN)4]–, Y = [Zn(CN)4]2–
Answer
(A) X = [Au(CN) 2 ] – , Y = [Zn(CN) 4 ] 2–
