2[Au(CN)2]– + Zn \(\to\) [Zn(CN)4]2– + 2Au\(\downarrow\) is which of these
(A) Redox reaction
(B) Displacement reaction
(C) Combination reaction
(D) Decomposition reaction
2[Au(CN)2]– + Zn \(\to\) [Zn(CN)4]2– + 2Au\(\downarrow\) is which of these
(A) Redox reaction
(B) Displacement reaction
(C) Combination reaction
(D) Decomposition reaction
- A & B
- B only
- A & D
- B & D
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is A & B:
\[ 2[\text{Au(CN)}_2]^– + \text{Zn} \to [\text{Zn(CN)}_4]^{2–} + 2\text{Au} \]
This reaction involves the reduction of gold (\(Au\)) and the oxidation of zinc (\(Zn\)), making it a:
- Redox reaction: Gold is reduced, and zinc is oxidized.
- Displacement reaction: Zinc displaces gold from its complex.

What are Ores and Minerals?
Minerals are the naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substances. They are having a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, hardness and color. For example, copper pyrite, calamine, etc.
Impurities in an ore are called gauge. The removal of a gauge from the ore is called concentration ore.
Several steps are involved in the extraction of pure metal from ores. Major steps are as follows –
- Concentration of the ore
- Isolation of the metal from its concentrated ore
- Purification of the metal
