    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.
