`KCN` forms soluble complex with silver glance.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether KCN forms a soluble complex with silver glance (which is primarily silver sulfide, Ag2S), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - KCN (potassium cyanide) dissociates in solution to form K⁺ and CN⁻ ions. - Silver glance (Ag2S) is an ore of silver, primarily composed of silver and sulfur. 2. **Complex Formation**: - The cyanide ion (CN⁻) can react with silver ions (Ag⁺) to form a soluble complex. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ 2Ag^+ + 2CN^- \rightarrow [Ag(CN)_2]^- \] - This indicates that two silver ions react with two cyanide ions to form a soluble complex ion, [Ag(CN)₂]⁻. 3. **Balancing the Reaction**: - The reaction is balanced as shown above, where the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side equals the number on the product side. 4. **MacArthur-Forrest Process**: - The MacArthur-Forrest process utilizes this soluble complex to extract silver from low-grade ores. - In this process, the soluble complex formed can be treated with a more electropositive metal (like zinc) to displace silver and obtain pure silver metal. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since KCN does indeed form a soluble complex with silver ions derived from silver glance, the statement is **true**. ### Final Answer: The statement "KCN forms a soluble complex with silver glance" is **true**. ---
