- BPurification of N i
- CExtraction of Z n
- DExtraction of M o
Correct answer
B. Purification of N i
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 + 4 CO g → 330 - 350   K Ni CO 4 g The carbonyl is subjected to a higher temperature so that it is decomposed giving the pure metal: Ni CO 4   → 450 - 470   K Ni + 4 CO
