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.
