NEST2017ChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
Nickel metal is purified by vapour phase refining process. This process is based on the fact that
Options
- Anickel metal sublimes at high temperature.
- Bnickel reacts with carbon monoxide to form nickel carbonyl which decomposes at high temperature to form nickel
- Cnickel reacts with chlorine to form nickel chloride which is volatile and decomposes easily to nickel.
- Dnickel can be vapourized under vacuum leaving behind impurities.
Correct answer
B. nickel reacts with carbon monoxide to form nickel carbonyl which decomposes at high temperature to form nickel
