The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the reaction between copper sulfate (CuSO₄) and potassium cyanide (KCN) and determine the product formed when excess KCN is present. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants:** - The reactants are copper sulfate (CuSO₄) and potassium cyanide (KCN). 2. **Initial Reaction:** - When CuSO₄ reacts with KCN, it forms cupric cyanide (Cu(CN)₂) and potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄). - The balanced reaction can be represented as: \[ CuSO₄ + 4KCN \rightarrow Cu(CN)₂ + K₂SO₄ \] 3. **Decomposition of Cupric Cyanide:** - The cupric cyanide (Cu(CN)₂) can decompose into cuprous cyanide (Cu₂(CN)₂) and cyanide ions (CN⁻): \[ 2Cu(CN)₂ \rightarrow Cu₂(CN)₂ + 2CN⁻ \] 4. **Formation of Stable Complex:** - The cuprous cyanide (Cu₂(CN)₂) formed can react with excess KCN to form a stable complex, which is potassium tetracyanocuprate(II), represented as K₃Cu(CN)₄. - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ Cu₂(CN)₂ + 4KCN \rightarrow K₃Cu(CN)₄ + 2K^+ \] 5. **Final Product:** - Therefore, the final product when CuSO₄ reacts with excess KCN is K₃Cu(CN)₄. ### Conclusion: The correct answer to the question is **K₃Cu(CN)₄**. ---
