    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 \[{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\] ion.
