Ques. 1AIPMT 2002

CuSO4 when reacts with KCN forms CuCN, which is insoluble in water. It is soluble in excess of KCN, due to formation of the following complex

  1. K2[Cu(CN)4]
  2. K3[Cu(CN)4]
  3. CuCN2
  4. Cu[KCu(CN)4]

Answer

(2) K3[Cu(CN)4]

Solution

2CuSO4 + 4KCN 2Cu(CN)2 + 2K2SO4

2Cu(CN)2 2CuCN + (CN)2 (Cu(II) is reduced to Cu(I))

With excess KCN, CuCN dissolves forming a soluble Cu(I) complex:

CuCN + 3KCN K3[Cu(CN)4]

Check: Cu(+1) + 4(−1) = −3 [Cu(CN)4]3- needs 3 K+.

Answer: (2)
