Choose the correct answer from the options given below:Choose the correct Statements from the following: (A) Ethane - 1, 2 - diamine is a chelating ligand. (B) Metallic

Options

  1. A(B), (C), (E) only
  2. B(C), (D), (E) only
  3. C(A), (B), (C) only
  4. D(A), (D), (E) only

Correct answer

C. (A), (B), (C) only

Step-by-step solution

Statement A

Ethane−1,21, 2−diamine is a chelating agent as it contains two coordinating sites that are two nitrogen atoms which donate their lone pairs of electrons and can form a 55-membered ring with the metal ion.</p><p><imgsrc="https://cdn−question−pool.getmarks.app/pyq/jeemain/629937b4−3c39−49d1−ace0−588d6ec911bb.png"style="width:307px;height:108px;"/></p><p>StatementB</p><p>BasedonHall−Heroultsprocess−</p><p>TheHall−Heroult processiswidelyusedintheextractionofaluminium.InHall−Heroultsprocess,pure</p><p><img src="https://cdn-question-pool.Quantrex.app/pyq/jee_main/629937b4-3c39-49d1-ace0-588d6ec911bb.png" style="width: 307px; height: 108px;"/></p><p>Statement B</p><p>Based on Hall-Heroults process-</p><p>The Hall-Heroult process is widely used in the extraction of aluminium.

This results in lowering the melting point of the mixture and increases its ability to conduct electricity.  A steel vessel with a lining of carbon and graphite rods is used.

Statement C

Cyanide ion is used as ligand for leaching of silver.

The cyanide process, which is also known as the Macarthur-forest process, is widely used in extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide.

Statement D
