Solution

Cd2+ and Cu2+ are separated by complex formation formation using KCN in which.K3[Cu(CN)4]. is more stable than .K4[Cd(CN)4]; on passing H2S gas.CdS is percipitated.
[Cu(NH3)]4SO4+10KCN+8H2O2K3[Cu(CN)4]+2K2SO4+8NH4OH+(CN)2
[Cd(NH3)]4SO4+4KCN+4H2OK2[Cd(CN)4]+K2SO4+4NH4OH
The second ionization of potassium cadmicyanide is higher than that of potassium cuprocyanide so that suffiient Cd (II) ions are present in solution. Hence, when hydrogen sulphide is passed, only CdS is precipitated.
