In the silver plating of copper, K[Ag(CN)2] is used instead of AgNO3. The reason is
- Aa thin layer of Ag is formed on Cu
- Bmore voltage is required
- CAg+ ions are completely removed from solution
- Dless availability of Ag+ ions, as Cu can not displace Ag from [Ag(CN)2] ion.
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Copper being more electropositive readily precipitate silver from their salt (Ag+) solution.
Cu + 2AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + Ag
In K[Ag(CN)2] solution a complex anion [Ag(CN)2]– is formed so Ag+ ions are less available in the solution and Cu cannot displace Ag from this complex ion.
