In electroplating of copper, K[Ag(CN)2] is used instead of AgNO3. The reason is:
  1. a thin layer of Ag is formed on Cu.
  2. more voltage is required.
  3. Ag+ ions are completely removed from solution.
  4. less availability of Ag+ ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from [Ag(CN)2]- ion.

Answer

(D) less availability of Ag + ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from [Ag(CN) 2 ] - ion.
