The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reactions that occur when KCN solution is added to a solution containing both Cu²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - We have KCN (potassium cyanide) and a solution containing Cu²⁺ (copper ions) and Cd²⁺ (cadmium ions). 2. **Reaction with Cu²⁺**: - When KCN is added to Cu²⁺ ions, a complex is formed. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 4 \text{CN}^- \rightarrow \text{[Cu(CN)}_4]^{2-} \] - This results in the formation of the complex ion \([Cu(CN)_4]^{2-}\). Since KCN provides K⁺ ions, the complete formula for the complex will be \(K_3[Cu(CN)_4]\). 3. **Reaction with Cd²⁺**: - Similarly, when KCN is added to Cd²⁺ ions, another complex is formed: \[ \text{Cd}^{2+} + 2 \text{CN}^- \rightarrow \text{[Cd(CN)}_2]^{2-} \] - This results in the formation of the complex ion \([Cd(CN)_2]^{2-}\). The complete formula for this complex will be \(K_2[Cd(CN)_2]\). 4. **Final Products**: - Therefore, the products formed when KCN is added to the solution containing both Cu²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions are: - \(K_3[Cu(CN)_4]\) (from Cu²⁺) - \(K_2[Cd(CN)_2]\) (from Cd²⁺) 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is that the complex compounds formed are \(K_3[Cu(CN)_4]\) and \(K_2[Cd(CN)_2]\).
