Assertion : In a mixture of Cd( II ) and Cu( II ) , Cd^ 2+ gets...
Assertion : In a mixture of \mathrm{II} and \mathrm{II}, gets precipitated in presence of by .
Reason : The stability constant of .
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
\left[\mathrm{Cd}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}
\left[\mathrm{Cd}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}\left[\mathrm{Cd}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CdS} \downarrow+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 \mathrm{CN}^{-}\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{CN}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_2 \downarrow
2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_2 \downarrow \frac{\text{ Quickly }}{\text{ decomposes }} 2 \mathrm{CuCN} \downarrow+(\mathrm{CN})_2 \uparrow
\mathrm{CuCN} \downarrow+3 \mathrm{CN}^{-} \longrightarrow
This complex is so stable (i.e., is too low) that cannot precipitate \mathrm{I} sulphide
