The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the value of 'x' in the Mond's process for refining nickel, we can analyze the given reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Reaction In the Mond's process, nickel (Ni) reacts with carbon monoxide (CO) to form a volatile nickel carbonyl compound. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Ni} + x \text{CO} \rightarrow \text{Ni(CO)}_x \] ### Step 2: Identifying the Compound From the video transcript, we learn that the compound formed is nickel carbonyl, specifically \( \text{Ni(CO)}_4 \). This indicates that the value of 'x' corresponds to the number of CO molecules that bond with one nickel atom. ### Step 3: Determining the Value of 'x' Since the compound formed is \( \text{Ni(CO)}_4 \), it is clear that: \[ x = 4 \] ### Step 4: Final Reaction The next part of the process involves heating the nickel carbonyl to decompose it back into solid nickel and carbon monoxide gas: \[ \text{Ni(CO)}_4 \rightarrow \text{Ni}_{(s)} + 4 \text{CO}_{(g)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of 'x' in the reaction is: \[ \boxed{4} \] ---
