Which of the following is a complex formed during the extraction of silver via leaching? |
AgCN [Ag(CN)2]– [Ag(CN)3]-2 [Ag(CN)4]-3 |
[Ag(CN)2]– |
During the process of leaching, silver (Ag) is first oxidised to Ag+ and this Ag+ then combines with CN– ions to form a soluble complex. The complex formed by silver in this case is, [Ag(CN)2]–. |
