JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 6th April Morning Shift - No. 5)
Which of the following options are correct for the reaction
$$2\left[\mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{CN})_{2}\right]^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{s})+\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})$$
A. Redox reaction
B. Displacement reaction
C. Decomposition reaction
D. Combination reaction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A and B only
C and D only
A only
A and D only
Explanation
$2\left[\stackrel{+1}{\mathrm{Au}}(\mathrm{CN})_2\right]^{-}+\stackrel{0}{\mathrm{Z}} \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{s}) \longrightarrow 2 \stackrel{0}{\mathrm{Au}}+\left[\stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{Zn}}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{-2}$
$\mathrm{Zn}$ displaced $\mathrm{Au}^{+}$
Reduction and Oxidation both are taking place.
$\mathrm{Zn}$ displaced $\mathrm{Au}^{+}$
Reduction and Oxidation both are taking place.
