    In the process of extraction of silver, Identify the complexes [P] and [Q]

    A) \[P={{[Ag{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{-}},Q,={{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    B) \[P={{[Ag{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{-}},Q,={{[Zn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]

    C) \[P={{[Ag{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{3-}},Q,={{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    D) \[P={{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}},Q,={{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[2Ag+4C{{N}^{-}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\,+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\,}2{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}+2O{{H}^{-}}\] \[2{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}+Zn\,\xrightarrow{\,}\,{{[Zn\,{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}+2Ag\].
