Which of the following metal nitrate produces gaseous product when reacts with KCN solution?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Cu(NO3)2
  • B
    AgNO3
  • C
    Cd(NO3)2
  • D
    Pb(NO3)2

Solution

(A)2Cu(NO 3 ) 2  + 4KCN→ KNO 3 + 2CuCN Redox +(CN) 2 ↑
B AgNO3+KCN→KNO3+AgCN↓ (ppt. formation)
C Cd(NO3)2+2KCN→2KNO3+Pb(CN)2↓ (ppt formation)
D Pb(NO3)2+2KCN→2KNO3+Pb(CN)2↓ (ppt formation)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
