The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "The process of AgCN + KCN to K[Ag(CN)₂] involves the oxidation of Ag" is true or false, we need to analyze the oxidation states of silver (Ag) in both the reactants and products. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants and Products**: - Reactants: AgCN and KCN - Product: K[Ag(CN)₂] 2. **Determine the Oxidation State of Ag in AgCN**: - In AgCN, the cyanide ion (CN⁻) has a charge of -1. - Let the oxidation state of Ag be \( x \). - The overall charge of AgCN is neutral (0), so we can set up the equation: \[ x + (-1) = 0 \] - Solving for \( x \): \[ x = +1 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of Ag in AgCN is +1. 3. **Determine the Oxidation State of Ag in K[Ag(CN)₂]**: - In K[Ag(CN)₂], the cyanide ion (CN⁻) still has a charge of -1. - There are two cyanide ions, contributing a total charge of -2. - Let the oxidation state of Ag in K[Ag(CN)₂] also be \( y \). - The overall charge of the complex ion K[Ag(CN)₂] is neutral (0), so we can set up the equation: \[ y + 2(-1) = 0 \] - Solving for \( y \): \[ y - 2 = 0 \implies y = +1 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of Ag in K[Ag(CN)₂] is also +1. 4. **Compare the Oxidation States**: - In both AgCN and K[Ag(CN)₂], the oxidation state of Ag remains +1. - Since there is no change in the oxidation state of Ag, we conclude that Ag is not oxidized in this reaction. 5. **Conclusion**: - The statement that the process involves the oxidation of Ag is false because the oxidation state of Ag does not change during the reaction. ### Final Answer: The statement is **false**.
