Metallic gold frequently is found in aluminosilicate rocks and it is finely dispersed among other minerals. It may be extracted by treating the crushed rock with aerated sodium cyanide solution. During this process metallic gold is slowly converted t [Au(CN)_(2)]^(-) , which is soluble in water. After equlibrium has been reached, the aqueous phase is pumped off and the metallic gold is recovered from it by reacting the gold complex with zinc, which is converted to [Zn(CN)_(4)]^(2-) , Gold in nature is frequently alloyed with silver is also oxidised by aerated sodium cyanide solution. Which of the follwing is/are correct for cyanide process of extraction of gold?

A classical model for the hydrogen atom consists of a singal electron of mass m_(e) in circular motion of radius r around the nucleous (proton). Since the electron is accelerated, the atom continuously radiates electromagnetic waves. The total power P radiated by the atom is given by P = P_(0)//r^(4) where P_(0) = (epsi^(6))/(96pi^(3)epsi_(0)^(3)c^(3)m_(epsi)^(2)) (c = velocity of light) (i) Find the total energy of the atom. (ii) Calculate an expression for the radius r(t) as a function of time. Assume that at t = 0 , the radiys is r_(0) = 10^(-10)m . (iii) Hence or otherwise find the time t_(0) when the atom collapses in a classical model of the hydrogen atom. Take: [2/(sqrt(3))(e^(2))/(4piepsi_(0))1/(m_(epsi)c^(2)) = r_(e) ~~ 3 xx 10^(-15) m]

The colour in the coordination compounds can be readily explained in terms of crystal field theory. Consider, for example, the complex [Ti(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) , which is violet in colour. This is an octahedral complex where the single electron [ Ti^(3+) is a 3d^(1) system] in the metal d-orbital is in the t_(2g) level in the ground state of the complex. The next higher state available for the electron is the empty e_(g) level. If light corresponding to the energy of blue-green region is absorbed by the complex, it would excite the electron from t_(2g) level to the e_(g) level (t_(2g)^(1)e_(g)^(0)to t_(2g)^(0)e_(g)^(1)) . Consequently, the complex appears violet in colour. The crystal field theory attributes the colour of the coordination compounds to d-d transition of the electron. It is important to note that in the absence of ligand, crystal field splitting does not occur and hence the substance in colourless. For example, removal of water from [Ti(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3) on heating renders it colourless. Similarly, anhydrous CuSO_(4) is white, but CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O is blue in colour. Out of the t_(2g) and e_(g) d-orbitals, which has a higher energy?
