Consider the following statements regarding the importance and applications of coordination compounds: Statement I: The coordination compound cis - [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] is used in medicine to inhibit the growth of tumors. Statement II: A mixture of titanium tetrachloride and triethylaluminium is used as a catalyst in the polymerization of ethene. Statement III: In photography, unexposed silver bromide dissolves in hypo solu
Options
- AI, II and IV only
- BI, II and III only
- CII, III and IV only
- DI and III only
Correct answer
B. I, II and III only
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is correct. cis - [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] , known as cisplatin, is used in the treatment of cancer to inhibit the growth of tumors. Statement II is correct. A mixture of titanium tetrachloride ( TiCl₄ ) and triethylaluminium ( Al(C₂H₅)₃ ) is known as Ziegler-Natta catalyst, which is used in the polymerization of ethene. Statement III is correct. In black and white photography, the developed film is fixed by washing with hypo solution ( Na₂S₂O₃ ) which dissolves the unexposed silver bromide to form a soluble compl
