Which of the following reactions is used for Mond's process of metal refining?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ni}+4 \mathrm{CO}-\stackrel{350 \mathrm{~K}}{\rightarrow} \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\)
  2. B \(2\left[\mathrm{Au}(\mathrm{CN})_2\right](\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Au}\) (s)
  3. C \(\mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{C}-\stackrel{1679 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{CO}\) \(+\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^2(\mathrm{aq})\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{CO} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{FeO}+\mathrm{CO}_2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Ni}+4 \mathrm{CO}-\stackrel{350 \mathrm{~K}}{\rightarrow} \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Ni}+4 \mathrm{CO} \stackrel{300 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\) This process is Mond's process and used for refining of Ni.
