Paragraph: When potassium iodide is added to an aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide, a reversible reaction is observed in which a complex \(\mathbf{P}\) is formed. In a strong acidic medium, the equilibrium shifts completely towards \(\mathbf{P}\). Addition of zinc chloride to \(\mathbf{P}\) in a slightly acidic medium results in a sparingly soluble complex Q.
Question: The number of zinc ions present in the molecular formula of \(\mathbf{Q}\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}+\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] \rightarrow \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Zn}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_2\)
OR
\(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}+\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}_2\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]\)
