When excess of aqueous KCN solution is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate, the complex [Cu(CN)4]2– is formed. On passing H2S gas through this solution no precipitate of CuS is formed because
  1. sulphide ions cannot replace CN ions
  2. [Cu(CN)4]2– does not give Cu2+ ion in the solution
  3. sulphide ions from H2S do not form complexes
  4. sulphide ions cannot replace sulphate ions from copper sulphate solution.

Answer

(B) [Cu(CN) 4 ] 2– does not give Cu 2+ ion in the solution
