    During the extraction of gold the following reactions take place \[Au+C{{N}^{-}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{{O}_{2}}}[X]\] \[[X]+Zn\xrightarrow{{}}[Y]+Au\]- X and V are respectively

    A)   \[{{[Au{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\]and \[{{[Zn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]

    B)  \[{{[Au{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]and \[{{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    C)  \[{{[Au{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{3-}}\] and \[{{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    D)  \[{{[Au{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\]and[ \[{{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[4Au+8C{{N}^{-}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{soluble}}{\mathop{4{{[Au{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}}}\,\] \[+4O{{H}^{-}}\] \[2{{[Au{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}+Zn\xrightarrow{{}}2Au(s)\downarrow +{{[Zn{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]
