The Mond process is used for the:

The Mond process is used for the:

Options

  1. APurification of ZrZr and TiTi
  2. BPurification of NiNi
  3. CExtraction of ZnZn
  4. DExtraction of MoMo

Correct answer

B. Purification of NiNi

Step-by-step solution

Mond's Process: In this process, nickel is heated in a stream of carbon monoxide forming a volatile complex, nickel tetracarbonyl:

Ni(s)+4CO(g)→330−350KNi(CO)4(g)Ni\left(s\right) + 4CO\left(g\right)\overset{330 - 350K}{\to}Ni{\left(CO\right)}_{4}\left(g\right)

The carbonyl is subjected to a higher temperature so that it is decomposed giving the pure metal:

Ni(CO)4→450−470KNi+4CONi{\left(CO\right)}_{4}\overset{450 - 470K}{\to}Ni + 4CO
