Solution

The reaction you're referring to is the cyanide process (or cyanidation), a method used for the extraction of gold from its ore. The reaction can be represented as:

4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H2O → 4 Na[Au(CN)2] + 4 NaOH

The gold is oxidized and forms a soluble cyanide complex, Na[Au(CN)2].

Now, let's analyze each property:

  1. sp3 hybridized: The gold cyanide complex ion [Au(CN)2]- is linear, not tetrahedral. The gold atom is sp hybridized, not sp3. So, this property is not related to the formed complex.

  2. Diamagnetic: The [Au(CN)2]- ion is diamagnetic because all of its electrons are paired. This property is related to the formed complex.

  3. Gold is in +1 oxidation state: In the [Au(CN)2]- ion, gold is indeed in the +1 oxidation state. This property is related to the formed complex.

  4. Maximum number of atoms in one plane is 5: In the [Au(CN)2]- ion, there are only three atoms (one Au and two C atoms from the two CN- groups) in one plane. So, this property is not related to the formed complex.

Therefore, the properties "sp3 hybridized" and "Maximum number of atoms in one plane is 5" are not related to the formed complex when native ore of gold is treated with an aqueous solution of NaCN in the presence of oxygen.

Which of the following ore(s) contain oxygen atom?

Ore is a naturally occuring rock found in Earth's crust that contains valuable minerals and metals.  In an experiment, a researcher dissolved a sample of ore containing an unknown amount of iron in HCl(aq).  The resulting aqueous solution, which contained both Fe2+(aq) and Fe3+(aq), was poured through a Jones reductor column containing Zn(Hg)(s) to convert all iron ions into a single oxidation state.  The conversion of Fe3+(aq) to Fe2+(aq) in the Jones reductor column is shown in Figure 1.Figure 1  Jones reductor column used for the conversion of Fe3+(aq) to Fe2+(aq).  The resulting Fe2+(aq) solution was collected using a syringe.To determine the total amount of iron in the sample, the Fe2+(aq) solution was then transferred to a container and titrated with 0.1 M K2Cr2O7(aq), which resulted in the conversion of Fe2+(aq) to Fe3+(aq) in an irreversible process.  A reference electrode was used to monitor the solution potential as a function of K2Cr2O7(aq) volume added, and the equivalence point of the solution was reached after the addition of 9.50 mL of K2Cr2O7(aq).  A schematic of the experimental setup is shown in Figure 2.Figure 2  Experimental setup for the titration of Fe2+(aq) with K2Cr2O7(aq) under acidic conditionsIn a second experiment, the researcher prepared another sample of Fe2+(aq) but used a 0.1 M I3−(aq) titrant solution instead of K2Cr2O7(aq).The standard reduction potentials for the species involved in the experiments are given in Table 1.Table 1  Standard reduction potentialsReduction half-reaction E°(V)Cr2O72−(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6 e− → 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) +1.33Fe3+(aq) + e− → Fe2+(aq) +0.76I3−(aq) + 2 e− → 3 I−(aq) +0.53Zn2+(aq) + Hg(l) + 2 e− → Zn(Hg)(s) −0.76 Question 26Does the redox reaction between Cr2O72−(aq) and Fe2+(aq) require energy input?A.Yes; ∆G° = +2.09nF J/mol.B.Yes; ∆G° = +0.57nF J/mol.C.No; ∆G° = −0.57nF J/mol.D.No; ∆G° = −2.09nF J/mol.
