    Nickel is purified by thermal decomposition of its:

    A)  hydride              

    B)         chloride

    C)  azide                   

    D)         carbonyl

    E)  iodide

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Nickel is purified by thermal decomposition of its carbonyl. This process is called Monds process. \[\underset{impure}{\mathop{Ni}}\,+4CO\xrightarrow[{}]{80{}^\circ C}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  nickel \\  carbonyl \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}}}\,\] \[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}\xrightarrow{180{}^\circ C}\underset{Pure}{\mathop{Ni}}\,+4CO\uparrow \]
