    In the silver plating of copper,\[K[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]\] is used instead of \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]. The reason is: [AIPMT 2002]

    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 :

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