Silver metal in ore is dissolved by potassium cyanide solution in the presence of air by the reaction `4 Ag + 8KCN +O_(2)+2H_(2)O rarr 4K[Ag(CN)_(2)]+4KOH`A. The amount of KCN required to dissolve 100g of pure Ag is 120gB. The amount of oxygen used in this process is `0.742g`C. The mount of oxygen used in this process is `7.40g`D. The volume of oxygen used at STP is `5.20` lit. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D `4Ag +8KCN +O_(2)+2H_(2)Orarr 4K [Ag(CN)_(2)] +4KOH` `rArr 4 xx 108g` of Ag reacts with `8 xx 65g` of KCN 100g of Ag reacts with `(8 xx 65)/(4 xx 108) xx 100 = 120` Hence to dissolve 100g of Ag, the amount of `KCN` required `=120g` Hence, statement (A) is correct `rArr 4 xx 108g` of Ag require `32g` of `O_(2)` `rArr 100g` of Ag require `=(32 xx 100)/(4 xx 108) = 7.14g` Hence, choice (C) is correct Hence, volume of `O_(2)` required `= (7.4)/(32) xx 22.4 = 5.20 =` litre Hence (A),(C),(D) are correct while (B) is incorrect. |
