Chapter 20, Problem 20.147MP
An alternative to cyanide leaching of gold ores is leaching with thiocyanate ion, which forms a square planar gold(III) complex, [Au(SCN)4]–.
- (a) If the formation constant for [Au(SCN)4]– is Kf = 1037, what is the equilibrium concentration of Au3+ in a 0.050 M solution of [Au(SCN)4]–?
- (b) Draw a crystal field energy-level diagram for [Au(SCN)4]–, and predict the number of unpaired electrons.

A) Structures 1, 3, 5, 2 and 4 are present
in a constantly fluid arrangement that
allows the selectivity of the movement
○ of molecules. Structure 4, present
integrally or peripherally, is responsible
for this selection, while the quantity of 6
regulates the fluidity.
B) The membranes isolate the cell from
the environment, but allow the passage
of water-soluble molecules thanks to
the presence of 2 and 3. The membrane
in scheme is more fluid than that in
