The Ksp expression for Zn(CN)2 is written as follows
write the equation for dissociation
that is,
zN(CN)2 ------> Zn 2+(aq) + 2CN-(aq)
ksp is therefore = (Zn2+)( CN-)^2
CN- is raised to a power of two since there are two CN- ion in the equation above

Answer:
Kps = [Zn²⁺].[CN⁻]²
Explanation:
Let's consider the solution of zinc cyanide.
Zn(CN)₂(s) ⇄ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 CN⁻(aq)
The solubility product (Kps) is the equilibrium constant for this solution, that is, the product of the concentration of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. Only aqueous species are included in the expression of kps.
The Kps is:
Kps = [Zn²⁺].[CN⁻]²
