    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 \[{{[Ag(C{{N}_{2}})]}^{-}}\]ion

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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