Question -

Whatis the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous KCN is added to anaqueous solution of copper sulphate?┬а



Answer -

Why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when H_2S(g) is passed through this solution?


Answer
i.e.,
Thus, the coordination entity formed in the process is K2[Cu(CN)4].┬а┬аis a very stable complex, which does not ionize to give Cu2+┬аions when added to water. Hence, Cu2+┬аions are not precipitated when H2S(g)┬аis passed through the solution.
