The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of identifying the complexes [X] and [Y] in the extraction of gold process, we will analyze the given reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first reaction The first reaction provided is: \[ \text{Roasted gold ore} + \text{CN}^- + \text{H}_2\text{O} \overset{\text{O}_2}{\rightarrow} [X] + \text{OH}^- \] In this reaction, roasted gold ore is treated with cyanide ions (CN^-) in the presence of water and oxygen. The cyanide ions form a complex with gold. ### Step 2: Determine the complex [X] The complex formed in the first reaction is a cyanide complex of gold. The cyanide ion has a charge of -1, and since two cyanide ions coordinate with one gold atom, we can write the complex as: \[ [X] = \text{Au(CN)}_2^- \] ### Step 3: Analyze the second reaction The second reaction is: \[ [X] + \text{Zn} \rightarrow [Y] + \text{Au} \] Here, the complex [X] reacts with zinc (Zn). Zinc will displace the gold from the complex. ### Step 4: Determine the complex [Y] When zinc reacts with the complex [X], it forms another complex. The zinc ion can coordinate with four cyanide ions, leading to the formation of: \[ [Y] = \text{Zn(CN)}_4^{2-} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the complexes identified are: - [X] = Au(CN)₂⁻ - [Y] = Zn(CN)₄²⁻ ### Final Answer - [X] = Au(CN)₂⁻ - [Y] = Zn(CN)₄²⁻ ---
