51. In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

(i) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

(ii) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

(iii) Assertion is true but the reason is false.

(iv) Assertion is false but the reason is true.

(v) Assertion and reason both are wrong.

1. Assertion: Nickel can be purified by the Mond process.

Reason: Ni(CO)₄ is a volatile compound which decomposes at 460 K to give pure Ni.

 $\frac{dE}{dT}$ is the temperature Co-efficient of cell. The cell having less variation of EMF, with respect to temperature have high efficiency.

Below 1350° C, Mg can reduce Al₂O₃ and above 1350°C, Al can reduce MgO (from Ellingham diagram).

Melting and boiling point of Mg are lower than that of Al.

In ores/mineral available earthy and undesired impurities are gangue

Sol. Reactivity towards ${\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{N}\mathrm{O}}_3$  depend on stability of carbocation formed

Leaching involves the given reaction,

$4Au\left(s\right)+8C{N}^{-}\left(aq\right)+2H_{2}O\left(aq\right)+O_2\left(g\right)\to 4{\left[Au{\left(CN\right)}_2\right]}^{-}\left(aq\right)+4O{H}^{-}\left(aq\right)$              

Here, O₂ is required for formation of Au (l) cyanide complex but no complex in absence of O₂.

$2{\left[Au{\left(CN\right)}_2\right]}^{-}\left(aq\right)+Zn\left(s\right)\to {\left[Zn{\left(CN\right)}_4\right]}^{2-}\left(aq\right)+2Au\left(s\right)$                

In above displacement reaction, Zn is oxidized.
