In the process of extraction of gold.
Roasted gold ore + CN + H2O \(\xrightarrow{\mathrm{O}_{2}}\)[X] + OH
[X] + Zn\(\text { ⟶ }\) [Y] + Au
Identify the complexes [X] and [Y] (2003)
  1. X = [Au(CN)2], Y = [Zn(CN)4]2–
  2. X = [Au(CN)4]3–, Y = [Zn(CN)6]4–
  3. X = [Au(CN)2], Y = [Zn(CN)6]4–
  4. X = [Au(CN)4], Y = [Zn(CN)4]2–

Answer

(A) X = [Au(CN) 2 ] – , Y = [Zn(CN) 4 ] 2–
