Paragraph: When potassium iodide is added to an aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide, a reversible reaction is observed in which a complex ( P ) is formed. In a strong acidic medium, the equilibrium shifts completely towards ( P ). Addition of zinc chloride to ( P ) in a slightly acidic medium results in a sparingly soluble complex Q. Question: The number of zinc ions present in the molecular formula of Q is
Correct answer
2.5
Step-by-step solution
Zn ²⁺+ K ₄ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ] K ₂ Zn ₃ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]₂ OR Zn ²⁺+ K ₄ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ] Zn ₂ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]
