The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements about copper(II) salts are true, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement 1:** - **Statement:** Copper(II) salt forms a soluble complex with excess KCN. - **Analysis:** When copper(II) ions (Cu²⁺) react with potassium cyanide (KCN), they form cupric cyanide (Cu₂CN₂). When excess KCN is added, this further reacts to form a soluble complex, K₃Cu(CN)₄. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. 2. **Analyzing Statement 2:** - **Statement:** Copper(II) salt forms a soluble complex with aqueous ammonia. - **Analysis:** Aqueous ammonia (NH₃) acts as a ligand and forms a square planar complex with copper(II) ions, specifically [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺. This complex is soluble in water. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 3:** - **Statement:** Copper(II) salt forms a soluble complex with KI. - **Analysis:** Copper(II) ions can react with potassium iodide (KI) to form Cu₂I₂, which is a brown precipitate. This compound is not soluble in water. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **false**. 4. **Analyzing Statement 4:** - **Statement:** A piece of iron or zinc placed in a copper(II) salt solution will precipitate copper. - **Analysis:** Zinc is more reactive than copper and can displace copper from copper(II) sulfate solution. This results in the formation of zinc sulfate and precipitated copper. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **true**. ### Final Conclusion: The true statements are: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: True - Statement 3: False - Statement 4: True Thus, the correct options are **1, 2, and 4**. ---
