NEET AIPMT SOLVED PAPER 2002

  • question_answer
                    In the silver plating of copper, \[K[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]\] is used instead of \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]. The reason is: 

    A)                 a thin layer of Ag is formed on Cu            

    B)                 more voltage is required

    C)                 \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions are completely removed from solution

    D)                 less availability of \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from \[{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\] ion

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In the silver plating of copper, K \[[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]\] is used instead of \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]. The reason is less availability of \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from \[K\,[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]\]ion
