`[Cu(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`

B

`Cu^(2+)` get reduced to form `[Cu(CN)_(4)]^(3-)`

C

`Cu(CN)_(2)`

D

`CuCN`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the addition of excess KCN to a blue solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4), we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Solution**: - The initial solution is a blue solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4). The blue color is due to the presence of Cu²⁺ ions in the solution. 2. **Addition of KCN**: - When excess potassium cyanide (KCN) is added to the blue solution, it reacts with the copper ions (Cu²⁺) present in the solution. 3. **Formation of Copper(I) Cyanide**: - The reaction between Cu²⁺ and KCN leads to the formation of copper(I) cyanide (CuCN). The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2 \text{CN}^- \rightarrow \text{CuCN} \, (\text{yellow precipitate}) \] - Initially, a yellow precipitate of CuCN may form, but this compound is unstable. 4. **Decomposition of Copper(I) Cyanide**: - The unstable CuCN can decompose to release cyanogen gas (C2N2) and further react with excess KCN: \[ 2 \text{CuCN} \rightarrow 2 \text{Cu} + \text{C}_2\text{N}_2 \, (\text{cyanogen gas}) \] 5. **Formation of Tetracyanocuprate(I) Complex**: - The remaining CuCN reacts with excess KCN to form a soluble complex known as tetracyanocuprate(I) ion, represented as: \[ \text{CuCN} + 4 \text{CN}^- \rightarrow \text{Cu(CN)}_4^{3-} \] - This complex is colorless, which explains the change in color of the solution from blue to colorless. 6. **Conclusion**: - The color change from blue to colorless is due to the formation of the tetracyanocuprate(I) complex, which is soluble and does not impart color to the solution. ### Final Answer: The solution becomes colorless due to the formation of the complex ion \(\text{Cu(CN)}_4^{3-}\).
