Leaching of gold with dilute aqueous solution of NaCNNaCN in presence of oxygen gives complex [A], which on reaction with zinc forms the elemental gold and another complex [B]. [A] and [B], respectively are:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
[Au(CN)2]−  and  [Zn(CN)4]2−{\left[ {Au{{(CN)}_2}} \right]^ - }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{\left[ {Zn{{(CN)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}
The correct answer is C ([Au(CN)2]−  and  [Zn(CN)4]2−{\left[ {Au{{(CN)}_2}} \right]^ - }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{\left[ {Zn{{(CN)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}) because gold leaching forms [Au(CN)2]−[Au(CN)_2]^- and its reaction with zinc yields [Zn(CN)4]2−[Zn(CN)_4]^{2-}.
