Give two requirements for vapour phase refining.
Two requirements for vapour phase refining are
(i) The metal should form a volatile compound with an available reagent.
(ii) The volatile compound should be easily recovered by decomposition.
Write the chemical reactions involved in the extraction of gold by cyanide process. Also give the role of zinc in the extraction.
(i) $4 \mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{s})+8 \mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q)+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(a q)+\mathrm{O}_2(g) \longrightarrow 4\left[\mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{CN})_2\right]^{-}(a q)+4 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)$
(ii) $2\left[\mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{CN})_2\right]^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{s})+\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}(a q)$
Zinc acts as a reducing agent in this reaction.
