The freezing point of an aqueous solution of KCN{KCN} containing 0.2 mole/kg water was −0.8∘C-0.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. On addition of 0.1 mole of Hg(CN)2{Hg}({CN})_2 in the solution containing 1 kg of water, the freezing point of the solution was −0.6∘C-0.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. Assuming that the complex is formed according to the following equation:
Hg(CN)2+mCN−⟶Hg(CN)m+2−m{Hg}({CN})_2+{mCN}^{-} \longrightarrow {Hg}({CN})_{{m}+2}^{-{m}} and Hg(CN)2{Hg}({CN})_2 is the limiting reagent, the value of 4 m4 \mathrm{~m} is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
8
Option A (8) is correct because the freezing point depression indicates the formation of a complex ion with 2 additional cyanide ions, thus m=2 and 4m=8.
